To put some English on a billiard ball means to give it an appropriate spin. So, I think, the meaning of the phrase is that the shooter put a lot of underspin on the basketball when shooting it.
Not sure, though, who Minnesota Fats is. Most likely, a nickname for some famous pool player. But, perhaps, somebody else, who spins something, a disk-jockey, perhaps? :)
