Scott was a celebrated 6'9" forward/center after being chosen by the Detroit Pistons as the #4 pick of the 1961 NBA draft, and then again after he was named head coach of the Pistons in October 1972, winning Coach of the Year in the spring of 1974-the first black man ever to capture that honor. His story is a story of quiet persistence, hard work, and, most of all, respect. He credits the mentorship of NBA player and coach Earl Lloyd, and talks about fellow Philly native Wilt Chamberlain and friends Muhammad Ali and Aretha Franklin, among many others. Ray has lived through one of the most turbulent times in our nation's history, especially the time of assassinations of so many Black leaders at the end of the 1960s. Through it all, his voice remains quiet and measured, transcending all the sorrows with his steadiness and positive attitude. This is his story, told in collaboration with the great basketball writer, former college player and CBA coach Charley Rosen"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Scott, Ray, $d 1938- 610 20 $a Detroit Pistons (Basketball team) $x History. 610 20 $a National Basketball Association $x History. 650 0 $a African American basketball players $v Biography. 650 0 $a Basketball players $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a African American basketball coaches $v Biography. 650 0 $a Basketball coaches $z United States $v Biography. 700 1 $a Rosen, Charles $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Scott, Ray, 1938- author. $t NBA in black and white $d New York, N.Y. : Seven Stories Press, [2022] $z 9781644211984 $w 2022000212 941 $a 1 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630014216.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B78BD564F83C11EC97B2B25526ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b IWRInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
