Paul Seymour (basketball)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Norman Seymour (born January 30, 1928 in Toledo, Ohio – died May 5, 1998) was an American basketball player and coach. A 6'1" guard, he played collegiately at the University of Toledo, and had a 12-year career in the NBA and its predecessor, the Basketball Association of America (BAA). He played his first season for the Baltimore Bullets of the BAA; the remainder of his career was with the Syracuse Nationals. He was a three-time All-Star. For a good part of his career, Seymour was a player-coach for the Nats.

Seymour later became a successful coach in the NBA, coaching four different teams in eight seasons.

Seymour still shares, with former teammate Red Rocha, the NBA record for most minutes in a playoff game with 67.[1]
