Biographical / Historical

Dick Rasmussen was born in 1936 on a farm just west of Audubon, Iowa. In his youth he attended the farm and country school, so it was not until he started high school at Audubon that he began to play basketball. He soon caught up to his peers and had success on the Audubon High boys’ basketball team. Later in life, Rasmussen became the basketball coach for the South Hamilton and Ankeny high school teams, where he shared his passion and love for the game with a new generation.
