John Moir (basketball)

He played on the company's industrial league basketball team, but it was actually his job performance that afforded him the opportunity to attend college.

[1] Despite having not played basketball until the interim period between high school graduation and college, Moir led the Fighting Irish to a 22–2–1 record and the Helms Athletic Foundation NCAA National Championship in his first season of eligibility.

Over the next two seasons, he led the team in scoring at 13.2 and 10.5 ppg, respectively, while also being named a consensus All-America selection in each of his three years playing for Notre Dame.

[2] Moir had broken every single school scoring record that Edward "Moose" Krause had set during his three-time All-American career earlier that decade.

When his NBL career ended, he had played for four years, won two league championships and scored 562 points in 89 total games.
