SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — San Diego men's basketball legend Stan Washington will be one of nine inductees into the 2024 WCC Hall of Honor class, the West Coast Conference announced on Wednesday afternoon.

The WCC will induct its 14th Hall of Honor class on Saturday, March 9, at the Orleans Hotel in Las Vegas. One representative from each member institution will be recognized in a special ceremony as part of the 2024 Credit Union 1 West Coast Conference Basketball Championship. 

Washington ended his collegiate career at San Diego in 1974 as the program's career scoring leader with 1,472 points — a record that stood until 2008 — and is considered perhaps the greatest pure scorer in Torero program history. His record for career assists of 451 remained until 1996, as well. He remains at or near the top of multiple USD career statistical categories including single-game assists (14 - tied for first), single-season field goals (229 - second all-time), single-season points per game scoring average (19.2 - second all-time) and career field goals (621 - third all-time). He accomplished these feats while playing in the era before three-point shooting and when freshmen could not play on the varsity squad. A three-time All-American, Washington was drafted by the Washington Bullets in the fourth round of the 1974 NBA Draft, becoming the first Torero to be drafted in the NBA Draft in program history.

He was inducted into USD's Hall of Fame in 2010. 

Washington is San Diego's 14th inductee into the WCC Hall of Honor. Longtime women's tennis coach Sherri Stevens was selected last year.
