William Walton "Bill" Sharman (born May 25, 1926 in Abilene, Texas) is a former professional basketball player and coach. Sharman completed high school in the rural city of Porterville, California and is mostly known for his time with the Boston Celtics in the 1950s, partnering with Bob Cousy in what some consider the greatest backcourt duo of all time. While Cousy was primarily the playmaker, Sharman was the shooter.

  • William Walton Sharman ist ein US-amerikanischer Basketballtrainer und ehemaliger Spieler. Zwischen 1950 und 1961 spielte er in der US-Profiliga NBA bei den Mannschaften der Washington Capitols und Boston Celtics. Sharman ist 1,85 m groß und spielte auf der Position des Shooting Guards. Zusammen mit Bob Cousy bildete er einen der besten Backcourts der Ligageschichte. Insgesamt gewann Sharman vier Titel mit den Celtics (1957, '59-61). Sharman wurde in vier auf einander folgenden Saisons (1956-1959) in das All-NBA First Team berufen. Zudem wurde er in acht auf einander folgenden Spielzeiten (1953-1960) in das NBA All-Star Team der Eastern Conference gewählt. Ab 1966 war er für zwei Jahre Trainer der San Francisco Warriors, die er 1967 ins NBA-Finale führte. 1971 übernahm er den Trainerposten bei den Los Angeles Lakers und führte sie in der ersten Saison zum Titel. 1976 trat er als Trainer der Lakers zurück und nahm seitdem keinen Trainerjob mehr an. Neben John Wooden und Lenny Wilkens ist Sharman die einzige Person, die sowohl als Spieler (1976) als auch als Trainer (2004) in die Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame aufgenommen wurde.
  • William Walton "Bill" Sharman (born May 25, 1926 in Abilene, Texas) is a former professional basketball player and coach. Sharman completed high school in the rural city of Porterville, California and is mostly known for his time with the Boston Celtics in the 1950s, partnering with Bob Cousy in what some consider the greatest backcourt duo of all time. While Cousy was primarily the playmaker, Sharman was the shooter. From 1950 to 1955 Sharman played professional baseball in the Brooklyn Dodgers minor league system. He was called up to the Dodgers late in the 1951 season but did not appear in a game; as a result of a September 27 game in which the entire Brooklyn bench was ejected from the game for arguing with the umpire, Sharman holds the distinction of being the only player to have ever been ejected from a major league game without ever appearing in one. Sharman was one of the first guards to shoot better than .400 from the field. He led the NBA in free throw percentage seven times, and his mark of 93.2% in the 1958–59 season remained the NBA record until Ernie DiGregorio topped it in 1976–77. Sharman still holds the record for consecutive free throws in the playoffs with 56. Sharman was named to the All-NBA First Team from 1956 through 1959, and was an All-NBA Second Team member in 1953, 1955, and 1960. Sharman played in eight NBA All-Star games, and was named the 1955 NBA All-Star Game MVP. Sharman ended his career after 11 seasons in 1961. In 1970–71 he coached the Utah Stars to an ABA title and was a co-recipient of the ABA Coach of the Year honors. After resigning as coach for the Utah Stars, Sharman signed a contract to coach the Los Angeles Lakers. Controversy later ensued when the owner of the Utah Stars brought suit against Sharman for breach of contract stemming from his resignation, and a tort case against the owner of the Los Angeles Lakers for inducing such breach of contract. Sharman was originally ordered to pay $250,000 in damages, but later appealed the trial court decision and reversed the judgement (see external link below). The following season he guided the Wilt Chamberlain and Jerry West-led Los Angeles Lakers to an NBA record 33 game win streak, a then-record 69-13 win-loss mark, the first Lakers championship in more than a decade, and was named NBA Coach of the Year. He is one of two men to win NBA and ABA championships as a coach; coincidentally, the other, Alex Hannum, also coached a Chamberlain-led team to an NBA championship. Sharman was enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1976 as a player and in 2004, he was also enshrined as a coach. He is one of only three people to be enshrined in both categories, after John Wooden and Lenny Wilkens. On October 29, 1996, Sharman was named one of the NBA's 50 Greatest Players. He is a graduate of the University of Southern California and served during World War II from 1944 to 1946 in the US Navy. Sharman is the author of two books, Sharman on Basketball Shooting and The Wooden-Sharman Method: A Guide to Winning Basketball with John Wooden and Bob Selzer. The gymnasium at Porterville High School is named after him. After his former basketball team the Los Angeles Jets dissolved in 1962, he sued to enforce his employment contract with the Jets, culminating in the case Sharman v. Longo (1967) 249 Cal. App.2d 948.
