For nearly five decades after its 1960 construction, Memorial Hall was the primary home court for the North Georgia men’s and women’s basketball teams since the restart of intercollegiate athletics in 1970. On January 24, 2015, the playing surface in Memorial Hall was officially renamed in honor of longtime men’s basketball coach and athletics director Bill Ensley, who re-established the men’s basketball program in 1971 and served as director of athletics for 24 years. The last intercollegiate basketball games in the building were on Wednesday, Feb. 18 in front of over 1,300 Spirit Night fans where North Georgia split a doubleheader with Clayton State. The UNG women’s basketball team would go on to christen the new UNG Convocation Center on Feb. 24 with a 105-52 win over Georgia Southwestern.
