Message: [QUOTE="RichZ, post: 4359884, member: 534"] Bill didn't just keep the blocked shot inbounds, he usually directed it to a teammate. He will always be my favorite player ever. And one of my favorite human beings. Everything he did, he did with dignity. I remember a story he told of being yanked from a game after blocking a shot, by a coach who told him that a good defensive player never leaves his feet. He didn't SAY the coach was an idiot, but you knew he felt that way. He actually said that he had never seen anyone block a shot, but it seemed like the natural thing to do, so he started dong it.
