Biography

One of the most dominant rebounders in college basketball history, Paul Silas’ jersey permanently hangs from the Creighton rafters. Following a season with the freshman team, Silas pulled down 1,751 rebounds for the Bluejays from 1961 to 1964 – a number that currently ranks sixth in Division I history and first among three-year players. He’s also third all-time at Creighton with a career average of 20.5 points per game, and earned various All-America accolades in each of his three varsity seasons. The Missouri Valley Conference Hall of Famer won three NBA titles as a player in the 1970s, and later coached four different NBA franchises.
