Early life

Lyne began playing basketball in 5th grade at Little Flower School on the South Side of Chicago, where he eventually became captain. Subsequently, he became captain at Leo Catholic High School and for Loyola.[1] He played for the Loyola for four seasons (1952–56), started for three and captained the team as a senior.[1][2] While a student at Loyola in the Near North Side community area, he commuted to and from the Auburn Gresham community area on the South Side via the Chicago Transit Authority buses and Chicago 'L'.[1]

Coaching

Lyne became the interim coach after serving as an assistant coach for twelve years when George Ireland retired due to health reasons in January 1975.[1] He remained coach until 1980 when third year athletic director Gene Sullivan took over the team.[3]

Lyne became an assistant for the 1962–63 Loyola Ramblers men's basketball team who won the 1963 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament.[2][4] During his 12 years as an assistant, he worked at his father's tavern as a porter.[1] He also worked for the last seven summers of his assistantship for the Chicago Park District's basketball program.[1] Under his helm, the 1977–78 Ramblers were victorious at home over Larry Bird's Indiana State Sycamores team, 79–76; Kevin McHale's Minnesota Golden Gophers, 70–66; and the Georgetown Hoyas during John Thompson's first year, 68–65 in overtime. During his final season as coach, the team set the Loyola single-game scoring record with a 133-point performance on November 22, 1979 against Loras College.[5] He concluded his coaching career with a 105–87 loss to Illinois in the 1980 National Invitation Tournament.

Lyne was inducted into the Chicago Sports Hall of Fame in 1989.[6]
