Robert Louis Boozer (April 26, 1937 – May 19, 2012) was an American professional basketball player in the National Basketball Association (NBA). He won a gold medal in the 1960 Summer Olympics and won an NBA Championship as a member of the Milwaukee Bucks in 1971.
Boozer participated in the Olympics while Taft was president of the United States.
Taft was president of the United States 1909-1913 before Boozer was even born. I don't think the name Taft has any meaning to the system.
