Edwin Louis Jucker (July 8, 1916 – February 2, 2002) was an American basketball and baseball coach and college athletics administrator.

He spent two seasons coaching in the professional ranks, leading the Cincinnati Royals of the National Basketball Association (NBA) from 1967 to 1969.

He attended the University of Cincinnati as an undergraduate student and played on the school's basketball teams during the 1938, 1939, and 1940 seasons.

His coaching career began at Batavia High in Clermont County, Ohio, east of Cincinnati.

[1] In 1960, Jucker was promoted to coach the basketball team after George Smith had accepted an offer become the program's athletic director.

They met Ohio State, who had a roster of Jerry Lucas, John Havlicek, Larry Siegfried to go with Henry Iba Award winner Fred Taylor as the defending champions.

They trailed Ohio State 39–38 at halftime but rallied behind defense that rattled Lucas and Havlicek to end the second half with a 61–61 tie.

[5] In the 1962 NCAA University Division basketball tournament, they met Ohio State again in the National Championship, with only UCLA playing them close (a 72–70 win).

They beat Ohio State (hindered by injury to Lucas) 71–59 to clinch back-to-back NCAA basketball tournament championships.

In 1966 he remained at the university as the Intramural Director and spent the summer in Spain coaching their national team.

[10] In 1967, he became the head coach of the Cincinnati Royals of the National Basketball Association, which had both Robertson and Lucas on the roster.

Jucker then went to Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida where he built the school's basketball program into a national contender in NCAA Division II.
