only 1 Crusader player or coach has made the International Basketball Federation Hall of Fame. Name him.

Well, I'll try the obvious choice: it's not much of a Hall of Fame if Bob Cousy is not in it.

If I am right it is about the contribution to international/global basketball

How about Jack Donohue being recognized for his time as coach of Team Canada??? We have a winner ! inducted in 2013, 10 years after his death. He coached the Canadian National Team for 17 years. He had been inducted in the Canadian Basketball Hall of Fame in 1992. He must be very proud of how strong Canadian hoops is today.

Shoot, I knew the answer but didn't read it until now. Jack D for sure but also 95% sure Kareem is the answer to the second question.

Have it, read it.
Jack was an even better storyteller than a coach.

After the service, Kareem came to the reception and stayed for hours, talking in small groups with all who wished to speak with him. Very warm and gracious.

Kareem is a very bright guy....regularly writes very thoughtful (albeit liberal-slanted) pieces for national media etc. Credit to Power Memorial and UCLA.
