Basketball is passion, and that passion continues to be shown throughout the
Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame. That passion continues as the board of directors of the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame announces their 61st induction class (18 inductees), to be honored in ceremonies on Wednesday, March 22, 2023.
Jack Hogan, "Broad Ripple's Pocket Rocket", graduated from Broad Ripple in 1963 where he averaged 12 points per game, going 21-6 where his team defeated the likes of Warren Central, North Central, Cathedral, Tech, Danville, Southport and Connersville during the tournament run; eventually losing to state Champion Muncie Central. Hogan was named Outstanding Senior Athlete along with All-Sectional and All-Regional. Hogan was also a member of Broad Ripple's baseball and cross country teams. Hogan went on to have a great career at DePauw University, where as a senior, he was named to Time Magazine's best college players in the U.S. under 6 foot. Named "Jack the Giant Killer", Hogan led DePauw to victories against many Division I teams including Evansville, Indiana State, and Butler. Hogan went on to be a standout tennis player, and was in real estate until his retirement in 2019.
