1946–47 CCNY Beavers men's basketball team
The 1946–47 CCNY Beavers men's basketball team represented the City College of New York as a member of the Metropolitan New York Conference during the 1946–47 NCAA men's basketball season. The head coach was Nat Holman, who was one of the game's greatest innovators and playmakers. Unlike today, when colleges recruit players from all over the country, the 1946–47 CCNY team was composed of "kids from the sidewalks of New York City," who had been recruited by Holman's assistant coach Harold "Bobby" Sand from Public Schools Athletic League (PSAL) schools such as Taft, Clinton, Boys, Erasmus, and Franklin High Schools.
