Hall of Fame
John Hansen was a standout for some of the best teams in Henderson State basketball history from 1977 to 1981. An All-AIC and All-District 17 selection during the 1980-81 season and a District 17 All-Tournament Team honoree in 1981, Hansen helped lead the Reddies to AIC titles in 1978 and 1979, District 17 championships in 1979 and 1981, and the 1979 NAIA National Championship game. Hansen holds the school record for career assists with 703 — an average of 6.1 per game — and is one of the best Reddies to ever step to the free-throw line, where he shot 81 percent for four seasons. He finished his time at Henderson with 823 points and 214 rebounds in 115 games played and shot 58 percent from the floor as a senior.
