John David "Honey" Russell (May 31, 1902 – November 15, 1973) was an Americanbasketball player and coach who was inducted into theNaismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1964. He turned professional after his sophomore year ofhigh school, and for the next 28 years he played for numerous early 20th century pro teams, including many in theAmerican Basketball League. His career included over 3,200 pro games (a number that would take a modern NBA player 30–40 years to equal). He was the first coach of theNBA'sBoston Celtics (1946–1948).[1]

Russell coached basketball atSeton Hall University from 1936 to 1943 and again from 1949 to 1960. His teams won 294 games and lost 137. In 1940 and 1941, Seton Hall ran its winning streak to 43 games, a national record at the time. The 1952–53 team won theNational Invitation Tournament at Madison Square Garden in New York City. That team won 31 games, including 27 in a row, while only losing 2 games.

Russell also was ascout inprofessional baseball, working for theAtlanta Braves,Montreal Expos andChicago White Sox.[2] Of the many players he signed, 23 made it to the major leagues, including Joe and Frank Torre, Don McMahon, and Earl Williams.
