Former Transylvania men\u2019s basketball coach Don Lane talked about Newton\u2019s influence. \u201cHaving served as basketball coach at Transylvania, as did C.M. Newton, I have followed and learned from Coach Newton from Transylvania until retirement,\u201d he said. \u201cHis life’s work in coaching, teaching and administration have influenced thousands of people that come from all walks of life. He has done his work with great integrity and with others utmost in mind, and thus has made an enormous impact nationally and internationally on college athletics. He\u2019s one of the most deserving ever to receive this award.\u201d<\/p>\n

Newton and the other Hall of Fame honorees received their awards during the NACDA’s 52nd Annual Convention in Orlando, Fla.<\/p>\n
