  • Mount St. Mary's Institution Now a College Basketball Hall of Famer
    Mount St. Mary’s institution now a college basketball Hall of Famer The national collegiate record 49 seasons Jim Phelan spent coaching men’s basketball at Mount St. Mary’s University in Emmitsburg are part of the game’s lore. Overlooked is the fact that Phelan spent another 16 years being educated at Catholic institutions. From a parish school in South Philadelphia to the Catoctin Mountains, he spent 65 years on campuses affiliated with the church. Phelan, who on Nov. 23 is to be enshrined in the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame in Kansas City, Mo., connects some remarkable dots as he reminisces. It seems the older the anecdote the better, whether the topic is his 830 wins, the NCAA College Division title the Mountaineers won in 1962, or his trademark bowtie. Phelan, 79, was a child of the Great Depression who sneaked into the massive bowl then known as Municipal Stadium in Philadelphia for Army-Navy football games. His youth revolved around St. Monica parish at 17th and Ritner, where he first discovered the City of Brotherly Love’s passion for basketball. “St. Monica had to be the only parish team to have two kids who would play pro basketball,” Phelan said. “Paul Arizin (named one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history) was in the eighth grade when I was in the seventh, but our team went nowhere. “Basketball was a rough and tumble game at the parish level, and I learned how to play a little bit scared. That’s also where I learned about loyalty.” Phelan remained in Philadelphia, playing for La Salle College High School and then La Salle University.
