Kresimir Cosic is the Yugoslavian basketball icon that starred for BYU from 1970 to 1973. He also played for Yugoslavia in four Olympic Games (1968, 1972, 1976 & 1980) and has other FIBA, Yugoslav and Euro League accomplishments way too long to list here.
Cosic was quite a pioneer as the first non-American star in college basketball. In a pre-ESPN, cable TV, round the clock sports information world, there were not many college games televised. There were occasional local or regional games, with some limited national broadcasts, usually involving UCLA. A player like Cosic at BYU only came alive when you saw photos or read about his accomplishments in basketball magazines, Sports Illustrated or The Sporting News.
Those who saw him play understand. The Marriott Center is BYU’s 19,000 seat basketball arena. It was built during Cosic’s time at the school. There is a saying about the Marriott Center – [HOF Coach] Stan Watts built it, Marriott paid for it, and Cosic filled it!
