He was named Rookie of the Year in 1944-45. In 1945-46 and 1947-48 he was on the NBL's first All League team; in the interim year he was on its second team. Holzman stayed with the team through their move to the NBA and subsequent NBA championship in 1951. In 1953, Holzman left the Royals and joined the Milwaukee Hawks as a player-coach, eventually retiring as a player in 1954 but continuing as the team's head coach. In 1957, Holzman became assistant coach of the New York Knicks for a stretch of ten years ending in 1967, whereupon he became the team's head coach for the most part until 1982. During this 15-year span as Knicks' coach, Holzman won a total of 613 games, including two NBA championships in 1970 and 1973. In 1969, Holzman coached the Knicks to a then-NBA record 18 game win streak, breaking the 17-game record first set back in 1946. For his efforts leading up to the Knicks' 1970 championship win, Holzman was named the NBA Coach of the Year for that year. He was one of very few individuals to have won an NBA championship as both player and coach. As a coach, his final record was 696 wins and 604 losses. In 1985, he was elected into the Basketball Hall of Fame. This is the only known Holzman jersey. In the back inside tail of the jersey is the "MacGregor Goldsmith" size 38 manufacturers tag. Adjacent was another tag that has fallen off. Across the front is "ROCHESTER." On the front and back is the player number "16." All lettering and numbering is done in white on red tackle twill. The jersey shows tremendous game-use and besides the loose tag appears to have no other alterations of any kind.
