Richard W. Holub (October 29, 1921 – July 27, 2009) was an American basketball player and coach.
A 6'6" center born in Racine, Wisconsin,[1] Holub played college basketball at Long Island University, and was a member of an NIT championship team in 1941. His college career was interrupted by a stint with the Air Force during World War II, but he returned to school in 1946, and led his team in scoring during the 1946–47 season.[2]
After being drafted by the New York Knicks in the 1947 BAA draft, Holub spent the 1947–48 season with the team, then embarked upon a seventeen-year coaching career at Farleigh Dickinson University. During his tenure as coach, he achieved a 233–167 record. He also taught English at Farleigh Dickinson. In 1981, he became an academic adviser for the University of Connecticut's athletic department.[2]
Holub died on July 27, 2009, in Sun City West, Arizona.[2]
