John Joseph "Jack" Tierney (August 3, 1893 – May 12, 1968) was an early American basketball player and coach.[1][2][3] He was involved in the sport at all levels of his era, from high schools and college to independent leagues, as well the American Basketball League to the National Basketball League.[2]
A native of Chicago, Illinois, Tierney stayed in the city's metropolitan area throughout his career.[1] In 1929–30 he was a player-coach for the Chicago Majestics, an independent team.[2]
Some sources have Tierney playing minor league baseball, including a stint on the Bloomington Bloomers in the III League (1925).[1]
