Arthur Sherwood Hillhouse (June 12, 1916 – October 27, 1980) was an American professional basketball player.[1]
A 6'7" center from Long Island University, Hillhouse played two seasons (1946–1948) in the Basketball Association of America as a member of the Philadelphia Warriors. He averaged 5.9 points per game in his BAA career and won a league championship in 1947. During the 1947 finals, Hillhouse set a still standing NBA record by becoming the only player to foul out of every game of a 5-game playoff series.[2]
