Timeline
Ralph Milton Beard Jr. (December 2, 1927 – November 29, 2007) was an American collegiate and professional basketball player.
Beard won a gold medal in the 1948 Summer Olympics with the Fabulous Five and the Phillips 66ers.
Taken in the second round of the 1949 NBA draft, Beard played two seasons with the Indianapolis Olympians and averaged 15.9 points and 4.4 assists per game.
He won two NCAA national basketball championships at the University of Kentucky and played two years in the National Basketball Association prior to being barred for life for his participation in the 1951 point shaving scandal.
Beard was born in Hardinsburg, Kentucky.
Beard grew up in Louisville and attended Louisville Male High School.
He later cited the family's finances as a reason he took money from gamblers.
His mother worked as a cleaning lady after his father left the family.
In October 1951, authorities charged him along with his former teammates Alex Groza and Dale Barnstable with taking bribes as part of the 1951 NCAA point shaving scandal.
They pleaded guilty and received suspended sentences but the NBA Commissioner Maurice Podoloff banned all three for life from the NBA.
Beard admitted that he took $700 but denied that he had ever shaved points in a game.
He claimed that Frank Hogan, the New York district attorney, conspired with Podoloff of the NBA and Cardinal Francis Spellman, the Archbishop of New York to go after Midwestern players in an effort to protect players at Catholic colleges.
He worked in the pharmaceutical industry afterward.
His only involvement in the sport after his ban was some scouting work with the Kentucky Colonels of the American Basketball Association.
He tried playing professional baseball but his ban for gambling prevented him from that sport as well.
Later in life, the University of Kentucky welcomed Beard back.
The school retired his jersey and invited him to speak to players about point shaving.
In 1985, he was inducted into the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame.
Beard died on November 29, 2007, at his Louisville, Kentucky home.
