Hank Luisetti

Angelo "Hank" Luisetti (June 16, 1916 in San Francisco, California - December 17, 2002 in San Mateo, California) was a college men's basketball player and one of the great innovators to the game. In an era that featured the traditional two-handed set shot, Luisetti developed the running one-handed shot. Equipped with such an offensive weapon, Luisetti became one of the most dominant players in college basketball history. He became the first player to score 50 points in a game on January 1, 1938 versus Duquesne. Luisetti was a member of the Olympic Club in San Francisco.
