Message: [QUOTE="ConwayGmck, post: 3833969, member: 10442"] I think you're taking this entire thread out of its context. I did not see anyone posting to his emotional duress and tribulations over his life, and my above post was certainly NOT in reference to those. As such, I have no argument with your position of the life's toll that being Press Maravich's son and playing basketball under him exacted from Pete. I was responding to the other comments about Pete Maravich's career while a college basketball player, in which several references were in fact made regarding Pete's "stats" at LSU. That is NOT out of context of this thread...... But as to your first paragraph: that gets to one of my points: Pete handled the ball ALL OF THE TIME - he was in effect LSU's PG. He's being double and triple teamed, and the rest of his team is converting at a higher % than he was, and he STILL took more shots alone than the rest of his team. Any other head MBB coach would not have allowed that. Press Maravich demanded that. And winning 20 games is not the ultimate objective for most all college programs - you strive to win the most you can. You strive to win your conference, your conference tournament, to get to and then win the NCAAT. You do WHATEVER it takes to achieve those goals. It seems that there were other goals at LSU during Pistol Pete's days there..... [/QUOTE]
