Jon Joseph Moderator No. 2 Share Posted November 5, 2021 PUP! I recall watching Bill play at UCLA when you were not allowed to dunk the ball. Before the 3 point shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see great post play anymore. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
