College career
[edit ]Holt attended Jackson State University. Playing for the Tigers, he was selected to the All-Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) team in 1969.[1]
Professional career
[edit ]Holt was selected by the Dallas Chaparrals in the 1969 American Basketball Association (ABA) draft.[2] He tried out for the team but joined the Scranton Miners of the Eastern Professional Basketball League for the 1969–70 season.[3] The Miners had a "clearly chaotic" situation during Holt's tenure with a nine-game losing streak, five head coaches and cuts to player salaries mid-season.[4] Holt was fined by the Miners for missing practices but refused to pay and left the team.[4]
Holt attended rookie camp with the Phoenix Suns of the NBA[5] and New York Nets of the ABA in June 1970.[6] In August 1970, he joined the Chicago Bulls for their training camp.[7] In October, he was announced as having made the Bulls' final roster for the 1970–71 NBA season;[8] he earned his spot because of his "strong rebounding, leaping ability and overall desire and hustle."[3] On December 18, Holt was assigned to the Northwest Travelers of the Continental Basketball Association.[9] On January 25, 1971, Holt was waived by the Bulls.[10]
