John Jack Kraft (February 10, 1921 – August 28, 2014) was an American basketball coach who coached Villanova for 12 years, from 1961 through 1973.[1] He compiled a 238-95 record (.715). Kraft led Villanova to the NCAA Tournament six times, and five times to the NIT. Only once did Kraft's teams fail to earn a post-season bid, in his final season. The 1971 team, led by Howard Porter, reached the NCAA Championship game, and lost to UCLA at the height of the UCLA dynasty.
Kraft died on August 28, 2014 at the age of 93 in Cape May County, New Jersey.[2][3] In honor of his memory, the Villanova basketball players wore a JK decal on their uniforms for the 2014-2015 season.
