Arturo Guerrero Moreno (born 30 August 1948) is a Mexican former basketball player and coach. He represented the Mexico national team and played in two Summer Olympic Games (1968 and 1976).[2] Due to his shooting ability, he was nicknamed "Mano Santa" ("Holy Hand").[3][4] Along with Carlos Quintanar and Manolo Raga, he is generally considered to be one of the two best Mexican basketball players of all time.[5]
