American college football player and coach
Arthur August Schabinger
(August 6, 1889 ? October 13, 1972) was an
American football
and
basketball
coach and college athletics administrator. Schabinger is credited (although disputed) with throwing the first
forward pass
in college football history.
[1]
Even if it was not the first forward pass, most certainly Schabinger was one of the early adopters and innovators of the play.
Basketball achievements

Schabinger coached college basketball for 20 seasons, including stints with
Ottawa University
,
Emporia Teachers College
and
Creighton University
.
[1]
He was one of the founders of
National Association of Basketball Coaches
and the president of that organization in 1932. He authored the association's Constitution and By-Laws. He was enshrined in the
Basketball Hall of Fame
as a contributor in 1961.

As a player

In 1910, Schabinger led the
College of Emporia Presbies
to a 17?0 victory over
Washburn
. During this game, he threw what some have credited (but many other records disputed) to be the first
forward pass
in college football history. That same year, "Schabie" scored seven touchdowns in a 107?0 win over
Pittsburg Normal
.
[3]
Schabinger's mentor and coach at the College of Emporia was
Bill Hargiss
.

Schabinger was the eighth head football coach at
Ottawa University
in
Ottawa, Kansas
, serving four seasons, from 1915 to 1919, and compiling a record of 9?17?5.
