NORFOLK, Va. – Former Norfolk State baseball player and coach Marty Miller and former Spartan basketball star Bobby Dandridge are among the 2012 inductees into the Hampton Roads Sports Hall of Fame.

Miller, who now serves as NSU's athletics director, was the first Spartan baseball player to become an NCAA College Division All-American during a stellar four-year career from 1965-68. He batted .380 as a sophomore, .438 as a junior and .406 as a senior. Miller was an All-CIAA baseball selection in 1967 and 1968, and led the nation in doubles in 1968. As the Spartans' baseball coach from 1973-2005, Miller won 718 games and led NSU to 17 conference titles. He was named CIAA Coach of the Year 15 times.

Miller assumed the role of athletics director in December of 2004. Since that time, Spartan athletic teams have won 26 MEAC titles and captured the past eight MEAC men's all-sports awards.

Dandridge ranks eighth in NSU men's basketball history in rebounds (998) and ninth in scoring (1,740 points) despite playing in only 10 games as a freshman. He holds school single-season records for field goals made (332) and attempted (601) as well as scoring average (32.0 ppg) and rebound average (17.3 rpg), all coming during his senior year in 1968-69. Dandridge was CIAA Tournament MVP as a senior in 1969 even though NSU finished as runner-up. He set CIAA Tournament records for points in a game (50) and a tournament (114) that season.

As a junior in 1967-68, Dandridge averaged 25.5 points and 13.3 rebounds per game as the Spartans won the CIAA title. Dandridge played 13 seasons in the NBA, making four all-star appearances and winning NBA titles with the Milwaukee Bucks (1971) and Washington Bullets (1978).

Miller and Dandridge are two of six inductees in this year's Hampton Roads Sports Hall of Fame class, the fifth in the hall's history. The others are former ODU and NBA basketball player Dave Twardzik, former Norfolk Admirals coach John Brophy, former Cox High School field hockey coach Nancy Fowlkes, and CNU athletics director C.J. Woollum.  The group will be inducted at a banquet on Tuesday, Oct. 30 at the Norfolk Scope. Tickets are $60 per person or $400 for a table of eight.
