Who is Hal Lear?
Harold C. Lear is a retired American basketball player.
A 6'0" guard, Lear starred at Temple University during the 1950s. He earned the NCAA Basketball Tournament Most Outstanding Player in 1956 after leading Temple to the Final Four, where they lost to the University of Iowa.

In 2013, Temple retired his No. 6 jersey.
