In 1955, he led the University of San Francisco to the NCAA title and was named Most Valuable Player. That same year, he led the Olympic gold medal team to victory and joined the Boston Celtics, winning 9 championships in 10 seasons and receiving 5 MVP awards. In 1966, he made history by becoming the first African American to coach a professional sports team, and coached the Celtics to win two more championships until his retirement in 1969.
    In my home, my parents were the rulers, no doubt about it. I did what they wanted me to do. They led, I followed. My mother protected me in this life. She was my shield and my guardian, she made the dangerous world I grew up in appear to be safe. She insisted that I keep distant from those who would harm me physically or verbally; she kindled my imagination, insisted the library was the place for me, as well as the church on Sundays (from eight in the morning till ten at night!). My mother taught me to stand up for myself, to use my brainpower on my behalf. She followed me around from day to day even though she wasn't there. Wherever I went, she accompanied me even though she was somewhere else.

    Hoops legend Bill Russell to speak on leadership
    Bill Russell
    Russell will speak at the Krannert School of Management's first Krannert Leadership Speakers Series. The former Boston Celtic great has written a current bestseller on leadership, "Russell Rules." The event is at 6:30 p.m. at the Ritz Charles in Carmel, 12156 N. Meridian St. Russell's appearance tips off Purdue's Homecoming Weekend. Purdue President Martin C. Jischke and Richard A. Cosier, dean of the Krannert School and Leeds Professor of Management, also will speak at the event. In addition, several Krannert School awards will be presented to alumni and faculty. "At the Krannert School, we teach the kind of management leadership that Bill Russell personified on the basketball court," Cosier said. "So it is appropriate that he is our speaker at this inaugural leadership speaker series event. "We are anxious to gain better exposure for the excellence of the Krannert School in the state of Indiana." Russell played for the Celtics from 1956-69, leading the team to 11 world championships, including eight in a row. He also was the captain of the 1956 gold medal-winning U.S. Olympic team. Tickets to the event are $135, or $1,250 per 10-person table. Corporate sponsorships for tables are sought. A sponsor reception starts at 5:45 p.m. Sixty dollars of each ticket price may be considered a charitable tax deduction, and net proceeds from the event will go toward student scholarships.

    Men's Basketball
    1953-56: The Bill Russell Years
    by Bernie Schneider, USF '59
    1953-1954: The Prelude The city of San Francisco has seen three spectacular sports debuts by eventual Hall of Fame athletes in three different sports. Most recently, in 1980, on a fall day at Candlestick Park, Joe Montana brought the 49ers back from a 35-7 deficit against the New Orleans Saints. In 1959, on a July afternoon at Seals Stadium, Willie McCovey of the Giants went 4 for 4 against Robin Roberts of the Philadelphia Phillies. Not to be forgotten, over forty years ago at Kezar Pavilion, on an early December night in 1953, Bill Russell ushered in a remarkable era in basketball history by scoring 23 points and blocking 13 shots to lead the unranked USF Dons to victory over the tenth-ranked California Bears. As that game began, K.C. Jones hounded Matheny relentlessly, and when Matheny passed to McKeen or drove to the basket, the lithe and athletic Bill Russell was every bit the intimidating center Phil Woolpert knew he could be. USF doubled Cal's score at 22-11 midway through the second quarter, only to see Cal recover and stay close at the half, 23-19. In the second half, when USF again doubled Cal's score, the advantage stuck, and USF stunned the basketball world with a one-sided 51-33 victory.
