Chason going into TCCAA hall of fame
Longtime Chattanooga State teacher and coach Dr. Foster Chason is part of this year's induction class for the Tennessee Community College Athletic Association Hall of Fame. Chason, now the vice president for student affairs and athletic director at Walters State, will be recognized for his induction between games of Saturday's basketball doubleheader in Morristown against his former school. Chason is the first individual with direct Chattanooga State ties going into the hall. He was a Tigers assistant baseball coach as well as a basketball assistant before becoming the school's second men's basketball head coach, second women's head coach and second athletic director. He was the first Chattanooga State basketball coach with a 20-win season and the school's first coach with a team ranked in the national top 10. Walters State teams during his AD tenure in Morristown have made 16 national-tournament appearances with one title, and he oversaw the addition of volleyball as a varsity sport there. "Over the past 37 years," he said in an email, "it has been rewarding to watch the growth of Chattanooga State from one building and the 'bubble' gym to a comprehensive community college with national prominence in its athletic programs. I was blessed to be a part of that transition and will always treasure the experiences, the students, the athletes and friends at the college and in the community who enhanced mine and [wife] Carol's life so richly. The honor of this induction would not be possible without the opportunities Chattanooga State afforded me, the student-athletes I had the pleasure of coaching and the support of the people who touched our lives."
