Nicoson carrying on family tradition at UIndy

It would be one thing if Ben Nicoson’s surname graced the back of his game jerseys, but the University of Indianapolis men’s basketball team doesn’t dabble in such individualism.
Still, some people attending Greyhounds home games might be asking themselves if No. 4 in the game program and on the court is somehow related to the building.
The answer is yes.
Nicoson Hall, named after longtime Greyhounds coach Angus Nicoson, opened in January 1960 and 17 years later officially took on the name of the legend who coached then-Indiana Central University for just over 29 seasons and a total of 762 games. Angus Nicoson died in 1982 or nearly two decades before the birth of his great-grandson Ben, currently a sophomore guard at UIndy.
