William Robert "Slick" Leonard (born July 17 1932 in Terre Haute, Indiana) is a former professional basketball player and coach. A 6'3" 185-lb guard, Leonard played collegiately at Indiana University, and was selected with the 1st pick of the 2nd round of the 1954 NBA Draft. He spent most of his 7-year playing with the Lakers (four years in Minneapolis, and one year in Los Angeles), followed by two years with the Chicago Packers/Zephyrs). In his final season as a player, he also coached the Zephyrs. The next year, the team moved to Baltimore and became the Bullets; Leonard coached them for one more year.

In 1969, Leanord became the coach of the American Basketball Association's Indiana Pacers, a position he held for nearly 12 years — the last four after the franchise moved to the NBA.

As of February 2006, Leonard is a broadcaster for the Pacers.
