Gay Kintner was inducted into the very first Decatur Public Schools Athletic Hall of Fame in August 2016.

The greatest coach in both city and Macon County history, he won 649 games at Decatur High and took his teams to the state tournament 10 times in his 32 seasons, including three state championships. The gym his team played its home games in had been named after him for 19 years when he died of a heart attack after collapsing at halftime of a game at MacArthur in 1960.
