NEW YORK ? Marv Kessler, a longtime high school and college basketball coach who became a coach to coaches by observing practices and making suggestions, has died. He was 82.
Kessler had been diagnosed with cancer several years ago and died Wednesday at NYU Medical Center, according to several friends.
Kessler coached at Martin Van Buren High School in his home borough of Queens before leaving to become head coach at Adelphi University in 1972. He compiled an 88-60 record in six seasons with the Panthers. His reputation as a speaker at clinics, where he used humor and fundamentals to get his point across, extended nationwide.
He was hired by many college and NBA coaches to attend their practices and advise them on how to be more effective.
He is survived by his wife, Irene, and daughters Andrea and Gayle.
