In 1919, upon their return from World War I, a group of local individuals in Bartlesville sought employment opportunities at Phillips. Some of them, inspired by their shared experiences, decided to create a basketball team under the Phillips banner. By 1920, this team commenced playing matches against other corporate teams, gradually gaining recognition. In 1921, seeking avenues to maintain fitness during the winter, a contingent of Phillips employees organized a team within the Bartlesville YMCA basketball league. </p><p>Initially, their matches were confined to Bartlesville and nearby areas, maintaining a modest profile. However, as time progressed, a spirited rivalry emerged with Empire Oil & Gas. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="1921–1942:_First_years_in_AAU"><span id="1921.E2.80.931942:_First_years_in_AAU"></span>1921–1942: First years in AAU</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Phillips_66ers&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: 1921–1942: First years in AAU"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The 66ers joined the Amateur Athletic Union, which featured the best basketball players at that time; in 1921. </p><p>In the 1920s, the standout player for the team was Paul Endacott, a former college star at Kansas who earned recognition as the Amateur Athletic Union Player of the Year in 1923, a time when there was no NCAA tournament. Joining the 66ers in 1927 as a Phillips employee, Endacott brought his talents to the team. Concurrently, a rivalry with Phillips University of Enid, the national collegiate runner-up, began to intensify. </p><p> During the 1928–29 season, Phillips 66 did not field a team. However, the subsequent season marked a pivotal moment coinciding with the company's initiation of marketing its products to the public. This prompted Phillips' leadership to make significant investments in their basketball team. In 1929, Lou Wilkie, the coach of Phillips University of Enid, was hired as the team's first full-time coach. Additionally, several skilled players, many of whom hailed from the disbanded Mid-Continent Oil Co. team, were recruited to bolster the roster.</p><figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Jimmy_McNatt_Hank_Luisetti_41-42.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/df/Jimmy_McNatt_Hank_Luisetti_41-42.JPG/170px-Jimmy_McNatt_Hank_Luisetti_41-42.JPG" decoding="async" width="170" height="246" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/df/Jimmy_McNatt_Hank_Luisetti_41-42.JPG/255px-Jimmy_McNatt_Hank_Luisetti_41-42.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/df/Jimmy_McNatt_Hank_Luisetti_41-42.JPG/340px-Jimmy_McNatt_Hank_Luisetti_41-42.JPG 2x" data-file-width="1036" data-file-height="1501" /></a><figcaption>Phillips 66ers players <a href="/wiki/Jimmy_McNatt" title="Jimmy McNatt">Jimmy McNatt</a> (left) and <a href="/wiki/Hank_Luisetti" title="Hank Luisetti">Hank Luisetti</a> (right) during the 1941–42 season.</figcaption></figure> <p>The 1929–30 team lost in the second round of the national AAU tournament, as did the next year's version. Then, with the Depression raging, Phillips dropped basketball to concentrate on survival. That strategy worked, and by 1936, Phillips was more convinced than ever that a strong basketball team would be good for business.<br /> The AAU's annual tournament drew the best players in the world, as well as thousands of fans and dozens of sports writers and broadcasters. During the 1930s, the only professional basketball teams were barnstormers like the <a href="/wiki/House_of_David_(commune)" title="House of David (commune)">House of David</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Harlem_Globetrotters" title="Harlem Globetrotters">Harlem Globetrotters</a>. In all those years the 66ers played against teams fielded by various commercial companies, under the sanction of the Amateur Athletic Union. </p><p>Paul Endacott and promising talent David Perkins emerged as pivotal figures during the 1930s for the team. Phillips gradually gained recognition, securing second place in the AAU tournament in both the 1936–37 and 1938–39 seasons, boasting an impressive 36–11 record. Notably, three of those 11 losses were inflicted by the Oklahoma City Parks. Following the disbandment of the Parks after the season, Phillips recruited their top two players, Grady Lewis and Bill Martin, both of whom had earned AAU All-America honors. </p><p>G. Harold "Smitty" Schmidt took over coaching duties for 2–4 years towards the end of the 1930s, bringing with him experience as a player under Phog Allen at the University of Kansas. With Lewis, Martin, and talents like Joe Fortenberry and Don Lockard on the roster, the 66ers dominated with a 48–5 record. Their pinnacle moment came with a thrilling 39–36 victory over the reigning champions, the <a href="/wiki/Denver_Nuggets" title="Denver Nuggets">Denver Nuggets</a>, in the finals of the 1939–1940 AAU tournament. The team received an enthusiastic welcome upon their return to the Bartlesville station, celebrated as champions. </p><p>Although the team secured second place in the 1940–1941 season, they faced a setback in a post-season Red Cross benefit game in Tulsa, where they lost to Arkansas, led by the towering 6–8 center John Freiberger, who would later join the 66ers. However, the outbreak of World War II and the involvement of the United States led to most of the top players from the 66ers enlisting in the military. Bill Martin joined the Army Air Corps in 1942, followed by John Freiberger in 1943, resulting in a decline in the team's performance during the 1941–1942 season. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="1943–1946:_Beginning_of_the_dynasty"><span id="1943.E2.80.931946:_Beginning_of_the_dynasty"></span>1943–1946: Beginning of the dynasty</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Phillips_66ers&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: 1943–1946: Beginning of the dynasty"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Bud_Browning.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4a/Bud_Browning.jpg/130px-Bud_Browning.jpg" decoding="async" width="130" height="234" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4a/Bud_Browning.jpg/195px-Bud_Browning.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4a/Bud_Browning.jpg/260px-Bud_Browning.jpg 2x" data-file-width="733" data-file-height="1317" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Bud_Browning" title="Bud Browning">Bud Browning</a> played for the 66ers from 1937–1943 and served as the team's head coach 1943–48, 1953–54 and 1958–64</figcaption></figure> <p>Phillips dominated the AAU titles from 1943 to 1948, winning six straight titles and posting a 241–24 record (+909) against all comers.

Bob Kurland became a 66er in 1946 and considered the club's greatest player since then.</i> </p><p>Kurland made the 66ers more popular and powerful than ever. Huge crowds thronged to the Bartlesville high school gym, which only seated 1,400 to see Kurland and the 66ers rolled to a 52–2 record in 1946–47. It was the year that the war had ended, and most of the former players returned, including Freiberger and Martin. Those two teamed up with Bob Kurland and the 66ers rolled to their fourth straight AAU championship in 1946–1947 season. </p><p>The 66ers achieved a stunning 62–3 record in 1947–48 and won their AAU 5th title in a row. </p><p>Phillips also dominated the 1948 Olympic trials, beating NCAA champion <a href="/wiki/Kentucky_Wildcats_men%27s_basketball" title="Kentucky Wildcats men's basketball">Kentucky Wildcats</a>, 53–49, in the finals.

According to George Durham, the team's publicity director and business manager for 20 years that team generated approximately $545,000 in free publicity during the 1948–49 season.<br /> The 66ers won the AAU title again in 1949–50, but that was followed by two bare seasons in 1950–1951 and 1951–1952 where they did not manage to repeat the triumph in the Olympic Trial Games (Peoria Caterpillars won the playoffs). Kurland set a record by being named to his second Olympic team in 1952, but he broke a lot of hearts in Bartlesville by deciding to retire just after the Games.

TV had discovered the <a href="/wiki/National_Basketball_Association" title="National Basketball Association">NBA</a>, and the pros were starting to stabilize and pay more money than teams like Phillips could. The <a href="/wiki/National_Industrial_Basketball_League" title="National Industrial Basketball League">National Industrial Basketball League</a>, the top amateur loop, disbanded in 1961. </p><p>The Phillips players were strictly amateurs. They worked during the daytime and practiced at night. They got no special treatment, except for being excused from work at noon on game day. As the pro salaries increased, it got harder to get and keep quality players. But still a few good players came to Bartlesville. Like a 6–1 guard from the lowly Wabash College named <a href="/w/index.php?title=Charlie_Bowerman_(basketball)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Charlie Bowerman (basketball) (page does not exist)">Charlie Bowerman</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Gary_Thompson_(basketball_player)" title="Gary Thompson (basketball player)">Gary Thompson</a> from Iowa State. Thompson helped the 66ers win the 1961–1962 AAU tournament, and he was named the MVP. </p><p>In the 1960s the AAU basketball faced hard times. The Big Ten had always prohibited its teams from playing AAU squads, and in the mid-60s other conferences followed suit. Newspapers started cutting down on space given to AAU teams, partly because of the pro glut and partly because of an attitude that companies should pay for all advertising and publicity. </p><p>The team cost about $150,000 a year to operate, not including players' salaries. Very little of that was recouped by ticket sales. The highest tickets were $2, but most of the tickets were $1 or 50 cents. </p><p>The final blow fell in 1967: The <a href="/wiki/American_Basketball_Association" title="American Basketball Association">ABA</a> was founded. The ABA was on firmer financial footing than the old <a href="/wiki/American_Basketball_League_(1925-1955)" class="mw-redirect" title="American Basketball League (1925-1955)">ABL</a>, and it needed bodies to compete with the established NBA. Seven 66ers jumped to the new league, most notably <a href="/wiki/Darel_Carrier" title="Darel Carrier">Darel Carrier</a> and <a href="/wiki/John_Beasley_(basketball)" title="John Beasley (basketball)">John Beasley</a>, both of whom had excellent ABA careers. </p><p>The 66ers already had an AAU schedule for 1967–68, so enough players were called out of retirement to form a team to play out the schedule. The 66ers lost their last game ever, 57–52, to the Spokane (Washington) Vaughan Realtors in the quarterfinals of the AAU national tournament. </p><p>The 66ers fulfilled their other goal: making the Phillips' name and their northeastern Oklahoma town known all over the country.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
