Dick Van Arsdale

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Richard Albert (Dick) Van Arsdale (born February 22, 1943 in Indianapolis, Indiana) is a former professional basketball player and coach, and a current NBA executive. A 6'5" guard who played collegiately at Indiana University, Van Arsdale was selected by the New York Knickerbockers in the 2nd round of the 1965 NBA Draft. Van Arsdale played in the NBA for 12 seasons; three with the Knickerbockers and the remainder with the Phoenix Suns (after he was selected in the 1968 expansion draft). Van Arsdale, a three-time All-Star, was consistently over his career one of the best free throw shooters in the NBA. He retired from play in 1977. Van Arsdale is remembered in Phoenix basketball lore as the "original Sun".

Van Arsdale would later become the team's general manager; he is currently the team's senior vice president of player personnel. In 1987, he briefly served as the team's head coach, following the departure of John MacLeod.

He is the identical twin brother of Tom Van Arsdale.
