(AP) -- Milton "Sharm" Scheuerman, a member of Iowa's "Fabulous Five" basketball team in 1956 that finished as NCAA runners-up and a former Hawkeyes coach, has died. He was 76.
The Rock Island, Ill., native was a member of Iowa's Big Ten championship teams in 1955 and 1956. Iowa won 17 straight games in 1956, the second-longest streak in school history. Both teams made the Final Four.
After playing for the Hawkeyes, Scheuerman became Iowa's head basketball coach at age 24 - the youngest coach in the program's history. He coached Iowa for six seasons, compiling a record of 72-69.
