Chapters: Alcohol-Related Deaths in Maryland, Drug-Related Suicides in Maryland, Joseph Mccarthy, Bruce Edwards Ivins, Len Bias, Eugene Lipscomb. Excerpt: Leonard Kevin “Len” Bias (November 18, 1963 June 19, 1986) was a first team All-American college basketball player. He was selected by the Boston Celtics as the second overall pick in the 1986 NBA Draft on June 17, but died two days later from cardiac arrhythmia induced by a cocaine overdose. He is considered by some sportswriters to be one of the greatest players not to play at the professional level. Bias was known to friends and family by his childhood nickname “Frosty”. He was given the nickname by his good friend and pastor Rev. Gregory Edmond because he was “tall and cool and quiet and unassuming”. From Landover, Maryland, Bias graduated from Northwestern High School in Hyattsville, Maryland, and subsequently attended the University of Maryland where he became an All-American player. Wearing number 34, Bias impressed basketball fans with his amazing leaping ability, his physical stature and his ability to create plays and was considered one of the most dynamic players in the nation. By his senior year, scouts from the various National Basketball Association teams viewed Bias as the most complete forward in the Class of 1986. Bias was favorably compared by some to Michael Jordan, then in his second professional season with the Chicago Bulls. On June 17, Bias was selected by the defending NBA champion Celtics as the second overall pick in the 1986 NBA Draft, which was held in New York City at Madison Square Garden. Arnold “Red” Auerbach, as Boston Celtic President and General Manager, dealt guard Gerald Henderson and cash to the Seattle Supersonics for the pick in April 1984. Bias and his family… More: |

She played college basketball at Vanderbilt University from 1985 to 1988, averaging 10.6 points and 5.8 rebounds per game. She also blocked 180 shots, to date a Vanderbilt womens basketball career record. Peck graduated from Vanderbilt with a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications in 1988.

Indoor Football Competitions $14.14 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The World Series of Football was a series of football games played indoors at New York’s original Madison Square Garden from 1902 through 1903. It comprised five teams, four from New York state and one from New Jersey. While none of the teams were really the best in the country, historians refer to the affair as a “World Series.” It was hardly a series in the sense of two strong teams playing each other over several games; no team played another more than once. The pairings were odd, too. The anticipated second-place team was automatically swept into the championship game without playing a down while the expected first place finisher had to fight its way through the brackets, effectively creating a cross between a traditional tournament and a “gauntlet-style” tournament for the first place team. The series is best remembered for showcasing the first indoor professional football game in 1902. The league was the idea of Tom O’Rourke, who was the manager of the Gardens at the time. ‘O’Rourke needed an event to draw people to the Gardens in late December, which was a slow time of the year for sporting events. Basketball and hockey were not yet major sports in New York, so O’Rourke decided to play host a series of indoor football games. He decided to invite several professional and college teams to the Gardens for the series. Tom O’Rourke envisioned a series of games, showcasing the best in college and pro teams, eventually leading to one climactic game, crowning the “champion of the world.” However O’Rourke had a tough time finding teams to play in the tournament. The colleges refused due to increased pressured from the Amateur Athletic Association to stop particiapting in professional games. Also the Pittsburgh Stars, Philadelphia Phillies and… More: |

Goodling, Stephen Bainbridge, Michael Bird $8.87 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Alfred Stanley “Stan” Benjamin (May 20, 1914 December 24, 2009) was a right fielder in Major League Baseball for five seasons; four with the Philadelphia Phillies (19391942), of the National League (NL), and one with the Cleveland Indians (1945), of the American League (AL). The 6′ 2″, 194 lb. Benjamin batted and threw right-handed, and was born in Framingham, Massachusetts. After graduating from high school, he attended Western Maryland College, now known as McDaniel College, where he played baseball, basketball, and football. In addition to his major league playing career, he played in minor league baseball for ten seasons. He began at the age of 23, with the Thomasville Orioles of the Georgia-Florida League in 1937, and finished as the player-manager for the Fresno Cardinals of the California League in 1948. During that time, he played in 955 minor league games, and batted .304, and hit 52 home runs. In the early 1940s, he was an assistant football coach at Northeastern University. Later, during his minor league career, he began coaching high school football, part-time, in his home town of Framingham, and then full-time once his playing and managing career ended. Starting in 1948, he was the head baseball coach and assistant football coach for Greenfield High School in Greenfield, Massachusetts, and took over the head football coaching duties in 1958. He held both positions, in addition to being a physical education teacher for a local middle school and part-time basketball referee until 1964. In 1965, he was hired as a talent scout for the Houston Astros, a job he held for nearly 40 years. It was his evaluation of Jeff Bagwell that led the Astros to acquire him from the Boston Red Sox for Larry Andersen. Born on May 20, 1914, in Framingh… More: |

Chapters: Brad Lohaus, David Rivers, Steve Johnson, Rick Mahorn, Shelton Jones, Tyrone Corbin, Eric White, Scott Roth, Maurice Martin. Excerpt: Bradley Allen “Brad” Lohaus (born September 29, 1964 in New Ulm, Minnesota) is an American retired professional basketball player who was selected by the Boston Celtics in the second round (45th overall) of the 1987 NBA Draft. A 6’11″ center-power forward from the University of Iowa, Lohaus played in eleven NBA seasons for eight different teams: the Celtics, Sacramento Kings, Minnesota Timberwolves, Milwaukee Bucks, Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs, New York Knicks and Toronto Raptors. Lohaus was a McDonald’s All-American at Greenway High School in Phoenix, Arizona under varsity coach Pete Babcock, who went on to work for six different NBA franchises in various capacities, including general manager. Lohaus played at Iowa from 1982 to 1987 under three different head coaches. He was recruited and played his freshman season under head coach Lute Olson. After Olson left for The University of Arizona, Lohaus reluctantly stayed at Iowa and played his sophomore and junior seasons under George Raveling (redshirting a year between seasons). He then flourished during his senior season under new coach Dr. Tom Davis as a shooting big man who defended the front of the Hawkeyes’ fullcourt pressing defense. That year, the team reached the NCAA Elite Eight, ending with a school record 30 wins, with Lohaus averaging 11.3 points and leading the team in rebounds and blocked shots. Lohaus was drafted by the Boston Celtics late in the second round; in 1987-1988 the team went 57-25 in the regular season, and bowed out to the Detroit Pistons in the hard-fought six-game Eastern Conference Finals. He was traded along with Danny Ainge to… More: |

Chapters: Oklahoma City Thunder Head Coaches, List of Oklahoma City Thunder Head Coaches, P. J. Carlesimo, Paul Westhead, Scott Brooks, Ron Adams. Excerpt: The Oklahoma City Thunder is an American professional basketball franchise based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. It plays in the Northwest Division of the Western Conference in the National Basketball Association (NBA). It was known as the Seattle SuperSonics from 1967 to 2008. The team plays its home games at the Ford Center. As of October 2008, the Thunder is currently owned by Professional Basketball Club LLC and coached by Scott Brooks, with Sam Presti as its general manager. The team was formed in 1967. After spending 41 years in Seattle, Washington, the SuperSonics moved to Oklahoma City. Owner Clay Bennett, who purchased the team in 2006, sought to get public funding for a new arena in Seattle, or a major renovation of the KeyArena in 2007. After failing to do so, he decided to move the team to Oklahoma City. Seattle sued Bennett’s group to enforce the lease that required the team to stay until 2010. The two sides reached a $45 million settlement to pay off the team’s lease with KeyArena in July 2008. There have been 16 head coaches for the Thunder franchise. The franchise won its only NBA championship in the 1979 NBA Finals while coached by Hall of Famer Lenny Wilkens.

Philadelphia Warriors Coaches $8.59 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Not illustrated. Excerpt: Edward Gottlieb (September 15, 1898 December 7, 1979) was the first coach and manager of the Philadelphia Warriors in the BAA/NBA and the former owner and coach of the team from 1951 to 1962 when he sold the Philadelphia Warriors to San Francisco. The Kiev, Ukraine native was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame as a contributor on April 20, 1972. The trophy that the NBA Rookie of the Year receives is named after Gottlieb. Few have blazed as many basketball trails as did Eddie Gottlieb, the Mogul of the NBA for its first 30 years. As organizer of and player for the South Philadelphia Hebrew Association (SPHAs) teams in the 1920s, he helped introduce Philadelphia to the sport of basketball. Then, along with a few other sports promoters, he organized the Basketball Association of America, the league that later became the NBA. Gottlieb coached the original Philadelphia Warriors, bought the team, and sent it to San Francisco in order to expand the game westward.

With his deep eyes and penchant for wearing bow ties, Gottlieb took on many duties. He started teams and organized leagues.

Red Auerbach $58.99 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Arnold Jacob “Red” Auerbach (September 20, 1917 – October 28, 2006) was a basketball coach of the Washington Capitols, the Tri-Cities Blackhawks, and the Boston Celtics. After he retired from coaching, he served as president and front office executive of the Celtics until his death. As a coach, he won 938 games (a record at his retirement) and nine National Basketball Association (NBA) championships (surpassed only by Phil Jackson). As general manager and team president of the Celtics, he won an additional seven NBA titles, for a grand total of 16 in a span of 29 years, making him one of the most successful team officials ever in the history of North American professional sports. Auerbach is remembered as a pioneer of modern basketball, redefining basketball as a game dominated by team play and tough defense rather than individual feats and high scoring and introducing the fast break as a potent offensive weapon. |
