George Henry Raveling (born June 27, 1937) is an American former college basketball player and coach. He played at Villanova University, and was the head coach at Washington State University (1972–1983), the University of Iowa (1983–1986), and the University of Southern California (1986–1994).
Raveling has been Nike's global basketball sports marketing director since he retired from coaching in 1994.[2] A former FOX Sports Net color commentator, he is a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.[3]
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon produced a film called Air about Nike's signing of Michael Jordan and ultimately the Air Jordan brand.[4] Marlon Wayans plays Raveling in the film.
