George Raveling

We will miss all the funny one liners, in the games and movie nights on the road before the games the next night...

Rest in peace , Ricky Brown 73-75

George was a unique human. I was raised in Pullman and attended basketball games on campus as much entertained by George as by the game
Truly a good human that made the world a more interesting and better place.

To George´s family and friends from all walks in life, o offer condolences.

I first met him as 8th grade basketball hopeful for impending CYO league play, and we asked him to be our coach. After conference with Parrish school AD, he agreed.

That year (1962-63 season), I understood George worked 9-5 for Sun Oil Co (Sunoco), while moonlighting for Villanova University Basketball as a scout, but still he found time to coach us for 2-4 practices in late afternoon and coach a weekend game.

My family is generous to me, and so was Coach Raveling.

Learning of his death is natural life event but it hits like a punch to my gut.

George will be remembered fondly by those who knew him.

I Played for Coach Raveling at USC in the 80's. He was very wise and he really connected with people. Rest in peace Coach. Thanks for your wisdom. Calvin Padgett

Tribute To George Raveling:
His unusual ability to develop a talented

court player remains as most didactic.
May his instruction be remembered as
coupled with clean living.
