Don “Monk” Meineke was one of the greatest basketball players in University of Dayton history and the NBA’s first rookie of the year. Meineke was the cornerstone for coach Tom Blackburn’s program as it gained national acclaim in the early 1950s. He was a two-time All-American and is still the sixth-leading scorer in UD history with 1,866 points.
