There has never been a player named Richard Dabney on the Harlem Globetrotters basketball team. There is also no record of anyone by that name having any sort of affiliation with the team.
"Vitamin C" certainly played on the 1978 tour, but I don't know his full dates. Great player/coach in the BBL with London Towers and Worthing Bears amongst others.
Meadowlark Lemon (Meadow Lemon Jr.) was 83 years old when he died on December 27, 2015 (birthdate: April 25, 1932). He was a longtime player with the Harlem Globetrotters.
Who was the first African American woman basketball player?The first African American female basketball player to be drafted by the NBA was Lucy Harris in 1977. She was from New Orleans, Louisiana. Ms. Harris was also a silver medalist from the 1976 Olympics.
The Harlem Globetrotters are a comic basketball team that combines athleticism and comedy to create one of the best-known sports franchises in the world. Created by Abe Saperstein in 1927 in Chicago, Illinois, the team adopted the name Harlem because of its connotations as a leading African-American community. Over the years it has toured more than 100 countries putting on more than 20,000 exhibition games, mostly against hapless opposition like the Washington Generals (until 1995) and the New York Nationals (1995-present). The Harlem Globetrotters were an exhibition team. They would play just about anybody and had some incredible moves. It wasn't a REAL basketball game, since they had their own officials, but they were incredibly talented and put on a great show. Their skills and comedy always left the audience feeling that they had been well entertained.

As of my knowledge, there isn't a specific coach for the Washington Generals, the team that typically plays against the Harlem Globetrotters. The Generals often have different coaches and player rotations for each game, as the focus is on providing opposition to the Globetrotters' entertaining performances.
