Belichick snubbed from Hall of Fame
(KYMA) - The eight-time Super Bowl-winning Coach Bill Belichick is not a first-ballot Hall of Famer.
During voting earlier this month, Belichick fell short of the 40 votes required for induction into Canton.
Multiple sources around the sports world say they were puzzled and disappointed that he failed to receive support from at least 8% of the selection committee.
The 73-year-old appeared in an NFL-record 12 Super Bowls and ranks second all-time in career wins with 333.
His 31 playoff victories and 17 division titles are also league bests.
Several sources indicate his role in the Patriots’ cheating scandals may have factored into the decision.
It's a sure thing Belichick will eventually make the hall, but his time will have to wait until at least next year.
