oliver11 -- Oscar ("Ossie") Schectman was in the class of 1937 at Tilden High School in Brooklyn. As you probably know, Schectman, also a graduate of Long Island University, is reputed to have scored the first points in NBA history, and was inducted into the Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in 1998. Here are two links that document his Tilden High graduation (I found none that suggests that he went to Jefferson High): Public School Athletic League Alumni (alphabetical, about 7/8 down the page) http://wilburcoach0.tripod.com/psalalumni.html Basketball Reference: Oscar Schectman http://www.basketballreference.com/players/playerpage.htm?ilkid=SCHECOS01 Additional Site: Here is a site that references Schectman's induction into the Jewish Sports Hall of Fame: Jews in Sports: Ralph Kaplowitz (about 4/5 down the page) http://jewsinsports.org/profile.asp?sport=basketball&ID=162 Search Strategy: I obtained only a few unhelpful references to Schectman with a simple Google search for "ozzie schectman": ://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=%22ozzie+schectman%22 I concluded that this might be because I was using an incorrect spelling of either the first or last name. Changing the search terms as follows in the next two tries turned up the information I have reported: schectman nba school ://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=schectman+nba+school schectman nba high school ://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=schectman+nba+%22high+school%22 I am confident that this is exactly the information you are seeking. If anything is unclear, please ask for clarification before rating this answer. markj-ga |
