My brother saw that Boys High team play. He told me that during warm ups The Hawk would stand on the foul line with a ball being palmed in each hand and his arms outstretched as the rest of the team dunked around him in layups. Then, when they were done it was his turn and he would dunk both balls. Talk about an intimidating haka. I went to Jack Donohue's basketball camp in Saugerties New York in the summers of 1966 and 1967. He coached Lew Alcindor as I am sure you know at Power Memorial, then Holy Cross and then the National team in Canada. Played 2 on 2 with Kevin Loughery there. I never saw anyone shoot like that before. Bobby Knight who was at Army then was a guest coach for the day. I knew even back then that he was possessed. You mention the Old Garden. I saw the Finals of the Holiday Festival in early January 1965 when St. John's came back from 16 down to beat Michigan with Cazzie Russell. In the consolation game against Cincinnati, Bill Bradley put on a show. He had 41 the night before in a losing effort when Cazzie scored with 3 seconds to go. We were lucky because we got seats in the St. John's student section. If you were up top you had to watch the game through the haze since smoking was allowed. Hard to believe. Still the best soft pretzels in human history right outside the old Garden doors. [/QUOTE]
