Coach Art McIlroy

I remember reading about Coach Mac when he was a High School Star at Cascia Hall back in the early 70's....yes, it was long ago, but it seems, at times like yesterday. He was an ALL CITY player and that meant something when a private school player made that list. Central, Hale, Washington, Memorial, Rogers, East Central, McLain, Edison~~ the TULSA High Schools were dominant in basketball and for a Cascia Hall Commando to be included on this elite squad is quite an honor.

He followed his college basketball playing career at Tulsa University with several coaching stints and learned from many excellent coaches from our community. He coached the Nathan Hale Ranger girls to a State Championship before moving on to Union High and assisting for many years at the High School level. Our kids are extremely fortunate to be able to have Coach McIlroy share his hoop wisdom with us. Techniques, fundamentals and the X's and O's of basketball, and most of our court strategies emanate from his broad basketball database of information.
