Message: [QUOTE="MD#12Fan, post: 3398256, member: 8636"] Hoops really isn’t an old game! Do the math. I’m 62, coaching in the Alaska bush, can’t jump anymore, but I can still shoot- I go back as far as Texas Western’s win. The NCAA had barely started. The NIT was only a half dozen years prior the big tourney of the year. The family tree of hoops only has like 3 maybe 4 generations Starting with Naismith. He had disciples that he influenced when he was at Kansas Univ. Check out the film, Black Magic. You can chart that tree. John McLendon learned from the man himself. He coached in a Black College in NC. Basically revolutionized fast break basketball. Red Auerbach took it from him. And so on.... [/QUOTE]
