Jack Parr, the two-time All-America basketball player who helped Kansas State to a pair of conference titles and the 1958 Final Four, died Sunday at his home in Lindsborg. He was 78.
Parr averaged 20.6 points and a school-record 14.5 rebounds as a junior, and teamed with Bob Boozer to lead the Wildcats to the Final Four as a senior.
He played one season in the NBA before turning to private business and becoming a basketball official.
