He excelled as a two-sport athlete in high school and college in a manner few others before or after him was able to do. But when Brian Generalovich was drafted by three separate professional teams; one is basketball and two in football, he decided to follow a different path. He enrolled in the University of Pittsburgh’s School of Dental Medicine. Yet, few had the kind of amateur careers Generalovich enjoyed. In high school, he was All-State in both sports, leading the legendary Farrell basketball team coached by fellow hall of famer and legend Ed McCluskey to back-to-back PIAA State Championships. In 1960, the Steelers enjoyed the best record in their hoops history, finishing 31-1. A two-way tackle, he was named to the Wigwam Wieseman National High School All-American football team. At Pitt, Brian scored 1,114 career points; fifth in school history at the time. He played football for the Panthers for only one year, 1964, but he was nonetheless named to the NCAA East team that season. Dr. Generalovich currently serves on the University of Pittsburgh’s Board of Trustees, a seat he has held since 2012.
