Carlos C. "Bud" Ogden, Jr. (born December 29, 1946) is a retired American professional basketball player who played in the National Basketball Association (NBA).[1] Although Ogden played for two seasons with the Philadelphia 76ers, he is best remembered for his college career at Santa Clara.
College
As a 6 ft 6 in (1.98 m)
In 1967–68, his junior year, the Broncos went 22–4, won the West Coast Conference title, and advanced to the NCAA tournament West regional final before falling to a Lew Alcindor-led UCLA squad.[2] The following year, he and his brother guided the Broncos to a 27–2 record, including 21 straight wins to begin the season.[2] They were ranked as high as third in the national polls,[3] won another West Coast Conference Title and once again met UCLA in the West regional final of the NCAA tournament.[3] The Bruins again defeated the Broncos and went on to win the national championship. They lost by 38 points in what was Alcindor's final game at Pauley Pavilion.[2][3] "To be that close to the Final Four–it was heartbreaking", Ogden said.[2] At the conclusion of his senior year, Ogden was named a consensus Second Team All-American. On February 10, 1969, he was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated.[4]
Years later, he would have his jersey retired by Santa Clara.[3] Bud and his brother Ralph were both also inducted into the San Jose Sports Hall of Fame.[3]

Personal
Ogden's father, Carlos Ogden, Sr., fought in World War II and was awarded the Medal of Honor, three Purple Hearts and one Bronze Star Medal.[2][4] He credits his father as instilling grit and determination in him via playing basketball in the driveway: "Dad was merciless. He would put us into the garage door."[2] Bud has four children, Lori, Geoffrey, Heidi-Lynn and Sydney. He has three brothers – Jim (deceased), Ralph and Fred. Bud is now retired from his careers in real estate and teaching high school algebra and special education. Ogden also coached his high school's basketball team. Prior to his first day of teaching, he was asked what he thinks of when his students were going to find out he appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated. He said, "I can picture the kids saying, 'What? Mr. Ogden was on the cover of SI?' I can't wait to see the looks on their faces."[2]
