College basketball coaching icon George Raveling passed away today. The announcement was made by his family on social media:

Raveling, who was a standout player at Villanova, dedicated over three decades to college basketball coaching. His impressive career spanned 22 years as head coach at Washington State (1972–1983), Iowa (1983–1986), and USC (1986–1994).

Raveling amassed 336 career victories, earned three Pac-12 Coach of the Year honors, and was named NABC Coach of the Year in 1992, cementing his legacy as one of the sport’s most respected leaders.

After retiring from coaching, Raveling transitioned into a global role as Director of International Basketball at Nike, where he continued to shape the game on a broader scale. He also authored two influential books on rebounding—War on the Boards and A Rebounder’s Workshop—and lent his insights as a color commentator for CBS Sports and FOX Sports Net.
