At Mizzou, Henke earned All-Big Eight honors in 1960 and 1961 as he led the Tigers in scoring, rebounding and field goal percentage. In his senior year, he tried out for the U.S. Olympic team and then was a consensus All-American by the Associated Press, United Press International and Helms Foundation.
More impressive, his career point total of 1,338 stood as the team record until 1973. And although that figure now ranks 20th, Henke achieved the total in only 74 games – whereas 15 players ahead of him played in at least 105 games.
His 24.6 scoring average led the Big 8 that season and remains sixth-best in program history. His Mizzou career scoring average (18.1), career free throws attempted (554) and free throws made (396) are all sixth-best in school history, too, while his career rebounding average (9.8) is fifth best (based off 725 rebounds).
After college, Henke played for the College All-American Tour vs. the Harlem Globetrotters and was a fourth-round draft pick of the NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers. He also played in the Arrat Shrine All-Star Game in Kansas, the only other all-star game at that time. He then played one season for the Kansas City Steers of the American Basketball League before going into coaching.
