Arturo Guerrero Moreno (born 30 August 1948) is a Mexican former basketball player and coach. He represented the Mexico national team and played in two Summer Olympic Games (1968 and 1976).[2] Due to his shooting ability, he was nicknamed "Mano Santa" ("Holy Hand").[3][4] Along with Carlos Quintanar and Manolo Raga, he is generally considered to be one of the two best Mexican basketball players of all time.[5]

During his club career, the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers, Cleveland Cavaliers, and San Antonio Spurs, offered him contracts.[6] However, he turned them down because NBA players were not allowed to play in FIBA competitions at that time, and he would not have been able to continue to represent the Mexico national team.[7]

With Mexico, Guerrero also won the silver medal at the 1967 Pan American Games, and played at the 1980 FIBA AmeriCup and the 1981 FIBA CentroBasket.

Coaching career

After he ended his playing career, Guerrero became a basketball coach. He was the head coach of the senior men's Mexican national basketball team at the 1991 Pan American Games, the 1992 FIBA AmeriCup, and the 2009 FIBA AmeriCup.
