The paper says Perkins’ influence is still being felt at the university, and he’s being considered for Aiken’s Sports Hall of Fame._”Big Lew”, as he is known to his friends and colleagues, never won any championships on the basketball court, but he taught his players the value of hard work and how to play the game the right way. Working without even a home court for much of his coaching career, Perkins had his players believing they could compete with any team they played, and his athletes gave their all both on the basketball court and in the classroom._
