Timeline
Carl John Neumann (September 11, 1951 – April 23, 2019), nicknamed "Johnny Reb", was an American professional basketball player and coach.
At 6'6" and 200 pounds, he played at the shooting guard and small forward positions.
Following a standout career at Overton High School in Memphis, Neumann took his game to the University of Mississippi, where he played from 1969 to 1971.
During his sophomore season, he drew comparisons to Pete Maravich, after averaging an NCAA-high of 40.1 points per game.
His strongest performances included a 63-point game against Louisiana State University and a 60-point game against Baylor University.
Neumann earned All-America and SEC Player of the Year honors at the end of the season.
He was named to the ABA All-Rookie Team in 1972.
Neumann was later drafted by the Chicago Bulls, in the 6th round of the 1973 NBA draft.
Neumann's professional career started strong, with averages of 18.3 points per game and 19.6 points per game in his first two full seasons with Memphis.
However, Neumann gradually fell out of favor with the team's head coach and management, who thought he was not passing the ball enough, and he was traded by the Memphis Tams to the Utah Stars, in exchange for Glen Combs, Ronnie Robinson, Mike Jackson and cash, in January 1974.
In Neumann's first year with the Utah Stars, his team won the ABA Western Division and defeated the San Diego Conquistadors, in the Western Division Semifinals and the Indiana Pacers in the Western Division Finals, to make it to the ABA Championship series, where they lost the 1974 ABA Finals to the New York Nets.
Despite the team's success, Neumann struggled to regain his scoring average after being traded to Utah.
He averaged just 10.1 points per game, in 44 games played with the Stars.
After just four games with the Squires, the Indiana Pacers bought Neumann's rights from the Squires, in November 1974.
He averaged 8.3 points per game with Indiana.
Neumann finished out the 1974–75 season as a Pacer, and in March 1975, the Virginia Squires bought Neumann's rights back from the Pacers.
Neumann averaged 16.6 points per game for Virginia during the 1975–76 season, but in January 1976, he was traded by the Squires.
He averaged 10.1 points per game as the Colonels defeated the Indiana Pacers in the ABA Quarterfinals and lost a 4–3 seven-game series to the Denver Nuggets, in the 1976 ABA Semifinals.
After the ABA–NBA merger took place in June 1976, Neumann ended up with the Buffalo Braves.
From 1976 to 1978, Neumann played 83 games in the NBA, as a member of the Braves, Los Angeles Lakers, and once again with the Pacers.
His 1977–78 campaign with the Pacers, during which he averaged just 4.2 points per game, would be his last in the United States.
After leaving the NBA, Neumann took his game to Europe, where he competed in the Italian A League with Gabetti Cantù, in the 1978–79 season, and in the German Federal League, with Saturn Köln, from 1980 to 1982.
Neumann became an assistant coach while playing in Germany, a position that would prove to be his first of many basketball coaching jobs.
Neumann also coached in Belgium, Greece, Cyprus, Israel, Kuwait, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, China, and Japan, as well as in the American minor-league Continental Basketball Association with the Maine Lumberjacks.
Neumann also coached the Louisville Shooters of the Global Basketball Association, in 1991 and 1992.
While in Cyprus, he discovered Darrell Armstrong, a little-known American point guard from Fayetteville State University, who later found success in the NBA.
On June 23, 2010, Neumann was appointed as the new head coach of the Romanian national team.
After graduation from Ole Miss with a bachelor's degree in general studies, he hoped to obtain a position as a professional sports analyst and broadcaster, but those opportunities did not materialize.
In an attempt to reenter coaching while waiting for the next professional opportunity, he served as an assistant coach at South Panola High School, in Batesville, Mississippi.
