Jerry Koch (born c. 1934) is a retired American basketball player. He is known for his collegiate career at Saint Louis University (SLU) between 1951–52 and 1954–55. A forward, Koch once recorded 38 rebounds in a single game.[1] He accomplished the feat on March 5, 1954 against Bradley University.[2] The 38 rebounds remain a SLU and Missouri Valley Conference record.[2] Koch was also instrumental in SLU's 1952 NCAA Tournament Elite Eight appearance; during his freshman season he teamed with his older brother and the team's center, Bob, as a dominant frontcourt duo.[3]
For his career, Jerry recorded 1,157 rebounds with a 14.6 per game average, which are second and first in school history, respectively (the leader in total rebounds, Anthony Bonner, played 54 more games than Koch).[4] In the 1955 NBA draft, the Philadelphia Warriors selected him in the 10th round, although he never played professionally.[5][6] In 1994 he was inducted into the Saint Louis University Hall of Fame.[7]
