Hubert Ausbie

Hubert Eugene "Geese" Ausbie (born 25 April 1938) is a retired professional basketball player. He was born in Crescent, Oklahoma.

Ausbie played basketball at Philander Smith College in Little Rock, Arkansas, where he earned All-Conference and All-American honors. Ausbie was one of the leading college scorers in the NCAA's College Division (later called Division II). (The only other prominent professional athlete from Philander Smith was Elijah Pitts, a halfback with the Lombardi-era Green Bay Packers.)

Ausbie later gained fame as a member of the Harlem Globetrotters. During his 24 years with the Globetrotters he earned the nickname "Clown Prince of Basketball" for his dazzling playing and irrepressible pranks on the court. He received a Globetrotters Legends ring, a recognition given to only a few elite former players. He retired from the team in 1985, but returned in 1995 to become head coach and manager of operations for the Globetrotters.
