Fred Schaus (D) was an American basketball player
and head coach. He was the athletic director for the West Virginia
University Mountaineers, player for the NBA's Fort Wayne Pistons and New
York Knicks. He was also the general manager and head coach for the
Los Angeles Lakers, head coach of Purdue University basketball, and a
member of the NCAA Basketball Committee.
After the 1960
season, he left college coaching for the Los Angeles Lakers and reunited
with his former WVU star, Jerry West. Schaus guided the Lakers to seven
consecutive playoff appearances, including 4 Western Conference
Championships in 5 years (1962, 1963, 1965 and 1966). In 1967, he
joined the front office as the Lakers GM and eventually assembled the
Lakers 1972 NBA title team. In 1977, he owned the distinction of being
the only coach to reach the NIT finals, NCAA finals, and the NBA Finals.
Along with Jerry West and Hot Rod Hundley; Fred Schaus is considered a
basketball God in the Mountaineer state.
