Jack Givens. And not just because I used to play him at ping pong in the rec room downstairs in Holmes Hall. (he was a very good ping pong player)
I was living on the third floor, the varsity basketball players occupied the first floor in those days as I remember.
We do kick the ball to an open perimeter shooter when driving the post, but we don't pass much out of the post itself. There is only about 2 seconds to make that decision and I think we're still having problems making a good quick choice. Think Cal also tends to want to crash the boards, draw...
We're improving. I think #9 is still somewhat of a gift at this point. We stay undefeated and take down both UNCheat and Louisville, then I'll start giving more cred to the ranking. Long way to go........ the ranking doesn't mean much now...:rolleyes:
You are by far the ultimate historian. Your post got me a bit curious and I believe I know how the 1929 date got infused:
"U.S. patent #1,718,305 was granted to G.L. Pierce on June 25, 1929 for the "basketball" used in the game."
