Ollie McLaughlin was rated as one of the best standing guards of the first decade of professional basketball. The standing guard was the primary defender and often did not join the offense when his team had the ball. In an era of man-to-man defense, the standing guard was always assigned to guard the oppositions best player. During his five years in the Central Basketball League, McLaughlin faced off against the very best scorers in professional basketball. Although he was still much in demand as player, McLaughlin retired in 1913 to devote full time to his business interests.

Trim McKinstry played basketball for Union College while attending the Albany College of Pharmacy. For a half dozen seasons, McKinstry was among the fastest and most elusive players in the New York State League. He enjoyed the four best years of his pro basketball career playing for Cohoes. In 1915, he returned to his hometown as captain of the Hudson, New York entry in the New York State Basketball League. Military service in World War I shortened his playing career. McKinstry did well financially with his ownership of a drug store and other business interests in Hudson. In 1927, he financed the returned of professional basketball to Hudson and served as team president of an entry in the Metropolitan Basketball League.
