Fifty years ago, the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association was created to help the coaches in our state and to make the game of basketball better in Illinois.
The IBCA has always had a vision to build a basketball museum that would be a comprehensive facility dedicated to recognizing the rich traditions and history of basketball in Illinois.
From the junior high level to our professional teams, we highlight the great stories, teams, coaches, players, officials, media and "friends of basketball" in Illinois.
The Basketball Museum of Illinois is an extension of the IBCA and our goals are to showcase the great basketball history (especially our Hall of Fame) in Illinois.
