Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 2488398, member: 7511"] I stand corrected and plead faulty old dude memory. But I wasn’t too far off. The 3-pt shot was experimented with off and on in college and various pro leagues going all the way back to 1945. During the 1967-68 season, the old ABA first introduced the 3-pt shot. Wes B, a.k.a. The Mad Bomber, was a rookie during that year with the old Oakland Oaks of the ABA. He was 2nd in the league in 3-pt percentage, not first, but set a league record by making 9 3-pt shots in a row. Penders, who was also a very good baseball player went on to coach college basketball where he had a long and successful career coaching at Tufts, Columbia, Fordham, Rhode Island, Texas, George Washington & Houston.
