Arthur A. (A.A) Schabinger Signed 1961 Naismith Basketball HOF FDC D. 1972 RARE

Description

As a college basketball coach Arthur Schabinger (d 1972) won nearly 80 percent of his games, but his impact on basketball extended well past the hardwood. Schabinger's 20 collegiate seasons included stops at Ottawa (KS) University, Emporia Teachers College, and Creighton. As coach of Creighton University, "Schabie" challenged his team by setting up intersectional games against the Midwest's toughest teams -- a new practice at the time. A leading advocate in the formation of the National Association of Basketball Coaches, Schabinger fought for the 10-second rule when opponents "froze" the ball. He helped conduct tryouts for the first Olympic team in 1936, was a salesman of early basketballs, and even officiated football, basketball, and baseball games across the region. President of the NABC in 1932, the tireless Schabinger also served on the NABC Rules Committee and the Amateur Athletic Union Basketball Committee. He was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1961. We offer a basketball HOF signed 1961 FDC that was signed during one of his visits to the Hall.
