* Sheboygan Red Skins

The Sheboygan Red Skins were a National Basketball League, National Basketball Association, National Professional Basketball League and professional independent team based in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, USA.

The Red Skins played in the National Basketball League from 1938 to 1949, led the league in defense five times, appeared in five championship series and won the 1942 – 43 title, defeating the league-leading Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons ( today's Detroit Pistons ) in the finals.

They soon were renamed the Red Skins and their first coach was Edwin " Doc " Schutte, a local dentist.

Then the Red Skins became a consistent winner under attorney and coach Frank Zummach from 1939 to 1942, including a spot opposite the Oshkosh All-Stars in the 1941 NBL finals.

Sandlotter Otto Kolar, from Cicero, Ill., was rated as one of the best guards in the Midwest and ran the Red Skins offense.

In late 1942, the Red Skins left the 1, 500-seat Eagle Auditorium at 711 New York Ave., in downtown Sheboygan, and moved into the 3, 500-seat Sheboygan Municipal Auditorium and Armory five blocks away on Broughton Drive, near Lake Michigan.

A significant reason Sheboygan won the 1943 NBL title was the late-season acquisition of Hall of Fame guard Buddy Jeannette, who joined Sheboygan for the last four regular-season games and the playoffs and commuted from his home in Rochester, N. Y. Jeannette, who was working in a defense plant in Rochester and traveling to Sheboygan and other sites of Red Skins games primarily on weekends, averaged 15. 5 points per game, a stout number during the pioneer days when final scores hovered in the 30s and 40s.

After winning their only NBL title, the Red Skins continued as one of the strongest teams in pro basketball and appeared in the next three championship series ( 1944, 1945 and 1946 ) behind the stellar play of twin towers Mike Novak, a 6-foot-9 former all-American from Loyola, and Dancker, a 6 – 7 player who did not attend college but honed his skills in the Milwaukee recreational leagues.

Defensive ace Suesens, Lautenschlager, Dick Schulz, Tony Kelly, Al Lucas, Al Moschetti and Bobby Holm were other key Red Skins during this period.

The signings of Lucas, Moschetti and Holm by Basketball Hall of Famer Dutch Dehnert in 1944 represented a first for the Red Skins: the acquisition of a group of name players from the East Coast.
