Career highlights and awards

Noe was selected as an Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) All-American while playing for the Everybody's Drug Store team of Eugene, Oregon, in 1953.[3] He was chosen by the Boston Celtics as the 12th overall pick in the 1953 NBA draft but he did not sign with the team as he believed the pay was not worth living so far away from home.[4] Although he never played in the National Basketball Association (NBA), Noe played for the Buchan Bakers of the Northwest Basketball League (NWBL), and the Houston Ada Oilers and Phillips 66ers of the National Industrial Basketball League (NIBL).[5]

After his retirement from playing, Noe worked as a petroleum salesman and tobacconist.[4]
