He was an early professional player in the National Basketball League (which later merged with the Basketball Association of America to form the NBA) and was a starter on the University of Wisconsin's 1941 national championship team.
Strain, a 5'11" guard from Harvard High School in Harvard, Illinois, played college basketball at Wisconsin for future Hall of Fame coach Bud Foster. Strain played from 1938 to 1941 and, as a senior, was a starting guard for the Badgers' 1941 national championship team.[1]
After the completion of his college career, Strain played one season for the Chicago Bruins of the National Basketball League in 1942–43.[2]
