Cazzie Russell, head coach of the men’s basketball team at the Savannah College of Art and Design is known for a spectacular career at the University of Michigan (1963-1966.) His success there, coupled with that of the team, led to the construction of the Crisler Area — later referred to as “The House that Cazzie Built.”
