Estey starred on the court at Akron before taking the head coach job at the high school he attended. He had to leave the post in 1943 to serve his country in World War 2, but returned to the helm after the war and stayed there until 1960 when he quit coaching (but stayed on as a teacher.)

Russ married Mary Miller in 1941.
