There is a reference to Dan Pippin's having led Missouri to "an NCAA tournament berth" as a 17 year old freshman in 1943-44: "True Sons". 31 May 2006. Retrieved 13 January 2009. I want to determine exactly what this means before adding it.
Even though Dan is said to have been born in St. Louis, Missouri, I think he grew up in Waynesville, Missouri, and probably played basketball there too. (His father, Dru L. Pippin, said that the Waynesville H.S. team retired his number in his honor -- source: oral history tape, Fort Leonard Wood Missouri museum).
I am looking for a photo to contribute.
Dan didn't play basketball after leaving Caterpillar.

Also, his name wasn't Daniel, simply Dan, Dan Luther Pippin. Father: Drura Lavega Pippin, mother Eva Luther Pippin. I'm not sure how to cite a tombstone to show this. Unfortunately Social Security Death Index doesn't show him, and Missouri online deaths stop at 1957; birth certificates are not available. Only web sites such as sports-reference have gratuitously changed his name to Daniel. Wikipedia's own list of the 52 roster shows him as Dan. Other references, see, e.g. Grundman, Adolph H. (2004). The Golden Age of Amateur Basketball. University of Nebraska Press. p. 148. ISBN 9780803271173. and "USA Basketball -- Games of the XV Olympiad". Retrieved 13 January 2009. show the name correctly.

More facts about Dan Pippin awaiting documentation. 1. Dan played for the Waynesville (Missouri) Tigers in high school, and was coached by Master Sgt. Joe Kelly, a Ft. Leonard wood soldier, one of many teachers hired from the Fort during war years. 2. Dan entered the U of Mo. at age 16 and played varsity ball that year, the youngest in the Big 6 conference. 3. George Edwards was coach, followed buy Coach Sparky Stalcup. 4. Dan is in the Missouri Basketball hall of fame in Springfield. Tkotc (talk) 22:47, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Peoria team Dan played for was NOT the Peoria Cats, but rather the Caterpillar Diesels. They changed ther name to the Caterpillar Cats because of some obscure Olympic rule
I'm pretty sure Dan's death was by suicide. >>>> —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.111.94.59 (talk) 04:03, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
