PUP!

 

I recall watching Bill play at UCLA when you were not allowed to dunk the ball. Before the 3 point shot.

 I am not completely against the 3 point shot, but if it was outlawed tomorrow. I would not miss it at all. About 70% of the shots attempted now are 3's. It really takes the artistry out of basketball.

I feel it also took the big man out of the game. I don’t see great post play anymore.

Never. Back then the games were on Saturday & Sunday. 13 years old, inside "The Pit". Watching Wooden twist the program he always held in his hands. It's impossible to describe what a Kamikaze Kids game was like. Loud? Like you couldn't hear the person next to you,

 

Chicago and '25 or 6 to 4" The Lone Ranger.  "Deranged Idiots" wasn't until later, coined by Gene Barto, who was the genius to follow Wooden.  Gerald Willett, Mark Barwig, Bruce Coldren. Hero Ducks forever!!!
