Coach Bob L. Brock coached basketball at Wabash College from 1953 to 1965.  He was a 1940 graduate of Clay City High School in Clay County, Indiana. After graduation from high school, he went to Indiana State Teacher’s College, now Indiana State University. He played basketball there for the legendary Dave Glascock, coach of the Crawfordsville HS team that won the first Indiana High School State basketball tournament in 1911, and a member of the Wabash College Athletic Hall of Fame. 

After one year, Coach Brock joined the Marines and participated in four landings. He was stationed in the South Pacific and saw action in Okinawa, and the North, South and Middle Pacific. He returned to Indiana State after the war and played for two other coaching legends, Glenn Curtis and John Wooden. 

After graduation, he took a coaching job at tiny Richland Township in Fountain County and won two sectionals.  He was at Richland Twp. from 1949 to 1951.  He then moved to Tell City for the 1951-52 season before coming to Wabash to coach for twelve years from 1953 to 1965.  In his twelve year tenure, the Little Giants had a record of 114-111 against some of the best competition available.  His teams qualified for the College Division Tourney of the NCAA four straight years, 1957-58, 1958-59, 1959-60, and 1960-61.  He is a member of the Wabash College Athletic Hall of Fame.
