David MacMillan (December 24, 1886 – July 9, 1963) was an American basketball coach.[1][2] He was a longtime head coach at the University of Minnesota (18 seasons, 1927–42, 1945–48),[3] and briefly coached the NBA's Tri-Cities Blackhawks in 1950, succeeding Red Auerbach.[4]
Before Minnesota, MacMillan was the head coach at the University of Idaho in Moscow,[5] his alma mater. He led the Vandals for seven seasons,[6][7] from 1920 to 1927, the last six in the Pacific Coast Conference.[8][9] In Idaho's first two seasons in the PCC, his upstart program won consecutive conference titles in 1922 and 1923.[10][11][12][13][14] He also coached baseball[15] and freshman football at Idaho,[16] and baseball at Minnesota from 1942 through 1947.[17]
Born in New York City, he attended Oberlin College in Ohio before transferring to the University of Idaho.[2]
MacMillan resigned at Minnesota at age 62 in March 1948, citing health reasons.[3] After his brief stint with the Blackhawks, MacMillan served as an assistant coach of the Minneapolis Lakers under John Kundla, who had been a player and assistant under MacMillan at Minnesota. He died from cancer at age 76 in Minneapolis.[1][2]
