Hubert Ausbie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hubert Eugene "Geese" Ausbie played basketball at Philander Smith College in Little Rock, Arkansas where he earned All-Conference and All-American honors. He later gained fame as a member of the Harlem Globetrotters. During his 24 years with the Globetrotters he earned the nickname "Clown Prince of Basketball" for his dazzling playing and irrepressible pranks on the court. He received a Globetrotters Legends ring, a recognition given to only a few elite former players. He retired from the team in 1985, but returned in 1995 to become head coach and manager of operations for the Globetrotters.
