John Wooden was the first to be inducted as a player (1961), then as a coach (1973)
If you're referring to the year 1998, it's Lenny Wilkens.
He was inducted as a player in 1989, and as a coach in 1998
Bill Sharman also shares the honor with them. He was inducted as a player in 1976, and as a coach in 2004.
