BIG MONEY

Nat Holman won lasting fame in basketball as the coach of City College in New York. CCNY is the only school in history to win both the NCAA tourney and the NIT in the same year (1950), and it was Holman who coached that squad. However, before turning to coaching, Nat Holman was a star pro player for the original, pre-NBA Boston Celtics. But Holman never made big bucks as a pro. He was paid a mere six dollars a game to play for Boston.
