My father, Bruce Glover, was inducted into the Michigan High School Coaches Association (MHSCA) Hall of Fame ten years ago, today. The MHSCA was founded at Central Michigan University, Mt. Pleasant, Michigan in 1954. My father was a charter member of the MHSCA. This organization was founded to represent and support Michigan coaches.
The first induction into the MHSCA Hall of Fame took place in 1957. The original Hall of Fame room was at Win Schuler's Restaurant in Marshall, Michigan. Eventually, it was moved to the Student Services Building of Central Michigan University (CMU). Currently, it is housed in the Student Activities Center next to the Dan Rose Arena at CMU. Over 500 coaches have been awarded this honor.
