Walt Hazzard

Walt Raphael Hazzard Jr. (born April 15, 1942 in Wilmington, Delaware) is a former college, Olympic, and professional basketball player and college basketball coach, now retired.

After attending Overbrook High School in Philadelphia, Hazzard went to UCLA, where he became an important player on the varsity basketball team. In Hazzard's first season on the varsity squad, the UCLA Bruins made their first Final Four appearance in the 1962 post-season, losing to Oscar Robertson and his University of Cincinnati team in the semi-finals. UCLA's undefeated season, 1963-64, was in no small part due to Hazzard, his backcourt partner Gail Goodrich, and the team's coach John Wooden. The team also won the NCAA Championship, and Hazzard was selected by the Associated Press as the tournament's Most Valuable Player. Hazzard was chosen as an All-American and also selected as College Player of the Year by the United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA).

Hazzard earned a spot on the 1964 Olympic basketball team for the U.S., which won the gold medal.

He later played in the NBA, first with the Los Angeles Lakers from 1964-1967, then the Seattle SuperSonics, the Atlanta Hawks, the Buffalo Braves, and briefly for the Golden State Warriors. While playing for the Supersonics in their inaugural 1967-68 season, Hazzard scored a career high 24.0 points per game, averaged 6.2 assists per game, and was selected to play in the NBA All-star game. He retired from professional basketball in 1974.

During his professional basketball career, Hazzard converted to Islam. He changed his name in 1971 to Mahdi Abdul-Rahman.

In 1984, he returned to UCLA as its men's basketball coach. That same year, he was inducted (as Walt Hazzard) in to UCLA's Athletic Hall of Fame. He coached for four seasons, winning 77 out of 125 games. The 1984-1985 UCLA Bruin basketball team won the NIT championship. The 1986-1987 UCLA Bruin basketball team won both the Pac-10 regular season championship as well as the inaugural Pac-10 basketball tournament.
