Art Quimby

Arthur R. Quimby Jr. (July 1, 1933 – December 6, 2010)[1][2] was an American college basketball player from the University of Connecticut.

[4] During his junior and senior seasons, Quimby led the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in total rebounds.

[3] Quimby's combined career point and rebound totals (3,114) are more than any other Connecticut player.

[4] After his college career ended, Quimby was selected by the Rochester Royals in the 1955 NBA draft after his territorial rights had been traded by the Boston Celtics.

[3] There was not enough money in professional basketball at the time for Quimby to want to play, so instead he spent the rest of his life as an educator after service with the military, serving in the Army Reserve as an officer.
