Sample Image

Collection Description

"Kid Holman," "Mr. Basketball," "Old Drill Master," and "the Old Professor"—are just a few of the many titles given to basketball's earliest superstar, Nat Holman. From humble beginnings on the Lower East Side to the pinnacle of college basketball—winning both the NCAA and NIT tournaments in 1950 as head coach at City College—Holman's eight-decade career as a player, coach, and author helped to establish basketball as a popular spectator sport in the first half of the 20th century.

Nat Holman: The Man, His Legacy and CCNY presents the scope of Holman's accomplishments as an athlete, coach, and ambassador of the game of basketball to the world.
