Though blind in one eye and deaf in one ear, Fred Scolari excelled in basketball at Galileo High School and the University of San Francisco. He went on to a nine-year (1946-1955) professional career with the Washington Capitols, Syracuse Nationals, Baltimore Bullets, Fort Wayne Pistons and Boston Celtics. He was known for his unorthodox yet effective shooting style, in which he released the ball from his hip, and was also a well-regarded defender. There is no manufacturers labels in this shooting shirt. On the left sleeve is the player number "10." Across the back of the jacket is "FORT WAYNE." All lettering and numbering is done in blue on white tackle twill. The shooting shirt shows nice wear and besides having no manufacturers tags appears to have no alterations of any kind.
