I'm a big fan of Pop, but he might also be overstaying with the Spurs. And years before, at age 64, the great Wooden was, to my mind, rightfully criticized for very questionable strategies in the Bruins' NCAA semis loss to NC State in '74 (he did come back to win in '75). Here's hoping we never get to be criticizing Geno for overstaying. I enjoyed reading the memories of UCLA vs. Jacksonville. That win was a tribute to Wooden's coaching acumen. I had been fortunate to see Gilmore when he was at Gardner-Webb JC during the '67-68 season playing an entertaining shootout with the Wake Forest freshman team, which featured Charlie Davis, later to be the first black named ACC Player of the Year.
