Hawks Legend to be inducted into BNSW Hall of Fame

Congratulations to Illawarra Hawks Legend Glen Saville OLY on his induction into the 2023 Basketball NSW Hall of Fame. 

Saville will be inducted along with four other legends of the game, including Robyn Maher AM OLY, Bob Turner, Brendan Dowler OAM, PLY and Matthew Townsend. 

It is impossible to talk about basketball in the Illawarra region and not include the name Glen Saville OLY. The all-time leader in games played for the Illawarra Hawks in the NBL, ‘Sav’ means as much to that area as other luminaries like Gordie McLeod, Mathew Campbell, and Chuck Harmison.

He played an astounding 563 NBL games, 527 with the Hawks, and was the 2001 NBL Grand Final Series Most Valuable Player in helping to guide his team to their maiden National Basketball League championship; the Hawks becoming the first team from New South Wales to secure an NBL crown.

Saville also distinguished himself in service to his country, representing Australia in both the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Games.
