Arthur Kenneth Loche[1] (January 31, 1936 – June 18, 1992)[2] was an American former college basketball coach and was the head men's basketball coach at Vermont from 1965 to 1972.[3][4]

Playing career

[edit]

Loche grew up on New York City's West Side and attended the High School of Commerce. He served two years in the United States Navy before entering New York University.[5]

Loche played three seasons (1958–1961) for the NYU Violets men's basketball team, he averaged 4.8 points and 1.2 rebounds per game.[6] He was a reserve guard on the Violets' 1959–60 Final Four squad and teammate of Naismith Hall of Fame member Satch Sanders.[7][8] Loche was team captain his senior season.[9] He was that season's winner of the James Lancaster Memorial Trophy, which was given to NYU's best defensive player.[10]

Coaching career

[edit]

In April 1961, Loche was named NYU's assistant varsity and head freshmen basketball coach. He succeeded Jack Rohan, who became the head coach at Columbia.[9] Loche remained at NYU until 1965, when he accepted the head men's basketball position at Vermont.[11] Over a seven-year period, Loche guided the Catamounts to a 69–96 record before stepping down to take the head men's basketball coach and athletic director position at Florida Institute of Technology.[12] He coached the Panthers to their first ever winning season in 1975–76.[13] He resigned in 1976 to enter private business in South Florida.[14]

During the college basketball off season, Loche coached Vaqueros de Bayamón in Puerto Rico, leading the squad to Baloncesto Superior Nacional titles in 1969 and 1971.

Later life

[edit]

Hodgkin lymphoma forced Loche to retire. He lived with a brother in Freeport, New York for a year before settling in Manhattan. He died at Roosevelt Hospital on June 18, 1992.[5] He was interred in Calverton National Cemetery.[2]
