Miggs Reilly

James Thomas "Miggs" Reilly


Born:
June 30, 1923
Staten Island, NY

Career
1942-43 Georgetown University (College)
1946-47 Georgetown University (College)
1946-47 Paterson Crescents (ABL)
1946-47 Clifton Parkers - New Jersey (Independent)
1949-50 Washington Collegians - DC (Independent)
1949-50 York Victory (EPBL)
1950-51 York Victory (EPBL)
1953-54 Catholic University - Washington, DC (College) Head coach
1954-55 Catholic University - Washington, DC (College) Head coach
1955-56 Catholic University - Washington, DC (College) Head coach
1956-57 Catholic University - Washington, DC (College) Head coach
1957-58 Catholic University - Washington, DC (College) Head coach

Pretty certain the player simply listed as "Reilly" who appeared in four games for the Crescents in the 1946-47 season was Georgetown guard Miggs Reilly, who would later play for York in the Eastern League. Not 100% certain, but the fact that Jim Reilly played for Clifton near Passaic at the same time "Reilly" put in time with Paterson makes me kind of confident it is him.

After coaching five years at Catholic University, Reilly left to concentrate on his career as a lawyer, retiring from the bar in 2002.
