Syracuse Athletics mourns the loss of former men's basketball player and assistant coach Louis Orr, who passed away on Thursday at the age of 64.
"Louis was a genuine, kind, and caring person, in addition to being a great basketball player. He will be remembered for his humility and thoughtfulness," said Syracuse University Director of Athletics John Wildhack. "We are grateful for Louis having been a member of our Syracuse Athletics family as a player, coach, and friend."
The Cincinnati, Ohio native was a key member of Hall of Fame coach Jim Boeheim's first recruiting class when he took over the program ahead of the 1976-77 season.
