Great story Tripucka was a nice player in his day. Liked ND as well as UConn back in the days going back to Austin Carr. He and Woolridge along with other nice players like Duck Williams I believe, Rivers maybe were very good but honestly were coached by an overrated HC in Digger.

There were a couple through HS and 2 years of community college hoops for me but there was on e that will always standout. Playing against nationally ranked Mattatuck CC of Waterbury (played them twice a year) and i was boxing out future Husky Al Fredericks on the low block. Had good position and reading a weak side rebound coming, ready to release go get the rebound and "Skinner" is already one handing it it home with a sneaker on my shoulder. I mean tremendous athlete as I played against him a few times, but this was so freakin quick and to top it off the striped dude called me for a bridge. I said "hey seriously I had him boxed out is it my fault he was able to jump 3 feet higher?" He just laughed as if I'd made a good point. But as I have said this before, Al was a real nice guy glad he had a nice career with the Huskies.
