Arthur Trester

Arthur Leslie Trester (June 10, 1878 in Pecksburg, Indiana – September 18, 1944) was an American basketball administrator.[1] Trester was the commissioner of the Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) from 1922 to 1944, that organization was the force behind Hoosier Hysteria in Indiana. During his tenure as commissioner of the IHSAA he excluded black and parochial schools from the IHSAA arguing that they were not public high schools.[2] He was enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame as a contributor in 1961.[1]

Trester graduated from Earlham College and obtained a master's degree from Columbia University.[3]
