1919-1921 Everett Dean IU HOF
BIO
B:3/18/1898 - D:10/26/1993
"The Gentleman from Indiana" is mostly know for his Basketball coaching and teaching, but he was also a superb baseball player and coach. Dean led the IU team from 1925-1935 and guided IU to it's first Big Ten Championships in baseball. After leaving IU he went on to coach at Stanford where he led the Cardinals to a College World Series appearance.
However what Dean is most known for is turning IU into a basketball powerhouse. As Bob Knight put it in his book Knight:My Story "Everett Dean has almost as much of a claim to being considered the father of Indiana University basketball as George Washington has for our country." Dean was the first All-American player to come from IU. After a brief stint coaching at Carleton College he returned to the Hoosiers and led them to their first Big Ten title.
Dean recruited and coached Branch McCracken who took over head coach duties in 1939, and won a championship in 1940, and again in 1953. Dean is currently the only coach to be in both the Basketball and College Baseball Hall of Fame.
