Career highlights and awards

Granger Errol Hall (born June 18, 1962) is a retired American professional basketball player. A standout college basketball player at Temple University, Hall also played in Spain's Liga ACB for 13 years, for a variety of clubs, and retired as that league's all-time leading rebounder (currently #2 overall).

Hall grew up in Clayton, New Jersey and played for his hometown team at Clayton Middle/High School. He went on to Temple to play for coach Don Casey in the East Coast Conference. After playing sparingly as a freshman, Hall broke out as a sophomore in 1981–82, averaging 14.9 points and 8.6 rebounds per game and sharing conference player of the year honors with American University's Mark Nickens.

In the offseason, Temple moved to the Atlantic 10 Conference and Casey was replaced by John Chaney. Hall appeared poised for another great year as a junior, averaging 20.6 points and 7.4 rebounds in the first five games of the year. However, he injured his knee in a game against William & Mary, had season-ending surgery and took a medical redshirt.

After a season of rehabilitation, Hall returned for the 1983–84 season and teamed with future NBA guard Terence Stansbury to lead the Owls to a 26-5 record and an undefeated Atlantic 10 season. Hall averaged 16.9 points and 7.1 rebounds per game. With Stansbury departing, the primary scoring load fell to Hall in his senior season. He filled this role admirably, averaging 18.0 points and 8.5 rebounds per game. At the conclusion of the season, he was named Atlantic 10 Player of the Year, giving Hall the unusual distinction of being named player of the year in two different NCAA Division I conferences (the only other player to do this was Sedric Webber).
