Bones McKinney
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Horace Albert "Bones" McKinney (born January 1, 1919 in Lowlands, North Carolina – died May 16, 1997) was a professional basketball player and coach.
A 6-6 forward from North Carolina State University, McKinney had a six-year playing career in the NBA, most of them with the now-defunct Washington Capitols. He also played for the Boston Celtics. His final year with the Capitols (in the 1950-1951 season), McKinney was a player-coach; the team folded midway through the season.
McKinney, known for his sideline antics, would later coach the Wake Forest University Demon Deacons, leading them to two Atlantic Coast Conference titles and an appearance in the Final Four in 1962. He also coached Carolina Cougars of the ABA.
