Jan van Breda Kolff Biography

Jan van Breda Kolff is one of the most popular and richest Basketball Player who was born on December 16, 1951 in Palos Verdes, California, United States.

He also spent two years in Italy, from 1983 to 1985, helping Italian team Virtus Bologna win a championship.

Van Breda Kolff’s tenure at St. Bonaventure ended abruptly in controversy late in the 2002–03 season. St. Bonaventure declared junior college transfer Jamil Terrell eligible to play without sitting out a year (as he would have been under NCAA rules if he had earned an associate degree), even though Terrell had only earned a welding certificate. Athletic director Gothard Lane had told school president Robert Wickenheiser that Terrell was ineligible to play that year. However, Wickenheiser, under prodding from his son Kort, who was also one of Van Breda Kolff’s assistants, unilaterally declared Terrell eligible. School officials didn’t seek guidance from the NCAA about Terrell’s eligibility until the 2002–03 season was nearly over. The Bonnies were forced to forfeit every game in which Terrell played, and were also barred from the Atlantic 10 Conference tournament. In protest, the Bonnies players opted to sit out the last two games. Van Breda Kolff denied knowing about the scandal, and was cleared of wrongdoing.
