Bobby Leonard passed away at age 88. For those who don’t know him he was Mr Indiana Pacer. He coached the team to 3 ABA titles and lead them thru the merger with the NBA. He and his wife Nancy staged a telethon to save the team in the late 70’s, saved the franchise and ultimately cleared the way for Indianapolis to become what it is today. He hit the game winning free throws in the 1953 ncaa championship game for IU. He was pretty much the epitome of Indiana basketball and was the ultimate Hoosier. Rest In Peace Slick.
