Autographs of Bobby Wanzer

Robert Francis Wanzer (June 4, 1921 – January 23, 2016) was an American professional basketball player and coach. A five time NBA All-Star and three time All-NBA Second Team selection, Wanzer played his entire professional career for the Rochester Royals of the Basketball Association of America (BAA) and National Basketball Association (NBA). He won an NBA championship with the Royals in 1951. During his final two years as a player, he served as the team's player-coach. After he retired from playing in 1957, he remained as a coach with the Royals for one season, before he became the head coach of the St. John Fisher Cardinals college basketball team in 1963. He stayed in the role with the college for 24 years until his retirement in 1987. Wanzer was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1987 and into the newly formed New York City Basketball Hall of Fame in 1991.
A 6'0" guard, Wanzer played collegiately at Seton Hall University. After leading Seton Hall to a 16–2 record as a sophomore, Wanzer enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. He made the All-Pacific Armed Forces All-Star basketball team, and participated in the occupation of Guam. Wanzer played for the Colgate Raiders during the 1943–44 season. He returned to Seton Hall for the 1946–47 season. On November 29, 1947, Wanzer was declared ineligible for the 1947–48 season as he had played varsity for three seasons.
Wanzer made his professional debut for the Rochester Royals of the National Basketball League (NBL) during the 1947–48 season. Royals star Bob Davies was a Seton Hall coach and steered the star guard to the NBL contender. Wanzer was selected by the Royals in the 1948 BAA draft. The Royals agreed to waive either their territorial draft pick or their regular draft turn to retain Wanzer.
