Jack McCloskey, a former Penn basketball player and coach who later managed the Detroit Pistons, died on June 1. He was 91.

While Mr. McCloskey was a Penn student and an intercollegiate athlete for the Quakers, he was an honorable mention All-American in football and a varsity letterwinner in football, basketball and baseball during the 1943-1944 season. He was commissioned to the US Navy in 1944. After his discharge he signed a contract to play baseball with Philadelphia Athletics, which made him ineligible for varsity sports at Penn.

After graduating from Penn in 1948 with a degree in education, Mr. McCloskey played basketball with the Philadelphia Warriors and with the Eastern Basketball Association, which awarded him MVP honors in 1953 and 1954.

He was Penn’s head basketball coach from 1946-1966. He brought the team to seven straight winning seasons, including Penn’s first Ivy League Championship season in 1965-1966. He left Penn with an overall record of 146-105. He stands fourth all-time for wins in a career at Penn.

He is survived by his wife, Leslie; his sons, Michael, Steve, Roman and John; his daughters, Robin and Molly; a stepson, Ryan Gray; a stepdaughter, Lisa Haugen; 14 grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren.
