Frank William "Menty"Keaney (June 5, 1886 – October 10, 1967) was an Americanfootball,basketball, andbaseball coach and college athletics administrator. As a college men's basketball coach, he was known as the architect of modern "run-and-shoot" basketball and the inventor of thefast break.[1]

Keaney was a native ofBoston, Massachusetts, and attendedCambridge Latin School, graduating in 1906. He graduated fromBates College, where he played several sports, in 1911.[2] He was the head football coach atEverett High School in Massachusetts from 1917 to 1919. He coached at Rhode Island State College (now theUniversity of Rhode Island) from 1920 to 1948 and taught a style of basketball using a fast-breaking offense and a full-court defense. In his 28 years at Rhode Island, Keaney's basketball Rams won eight conference championships and had only one losing season.[3] In 1939, Keaney's Rams became the first college team to score more than 50 points per game, and in 1943 the team had an average of more than two points per minute (80.7 points per game), which led to the Rams being dubbed "The Firehouse Gang". During his tenure the URI team had fourNational Invitation Tournament appearances. Keaney's career record with the men's basketball team was 401–124 (.764).[3]

After retiring from coaching collegiate basketball, Keaney was offered the position of head coach of theBoston Celtics.[4] Keaney's doctor, however, refused to let him take the job.[2] He remained at URI as athletic director until 1959. The university named theFrank W. Keaney Gymnasium-Armory in his honor in 1953. Keaney was inducted into theBasketball Hall of Fame in 1960.[4]
