Your First UConn Game In Person

played
Where'd you end up playing?
Played at Tulane a coupla years in the late 60's. Two knee operations killed my hops & lateral D - but I always could shoot. Then back home to NYU (already de-emphasizing D1 sports & soon to drop hoops in '71). Loved playing for Lou Rossini & also the Violets' many home games in MSG in front of family & friends (announcer John Condon introducing me was a thrill). Then 4 years of pro ball in South Eastern France (Monaco Red). French girls, American hoopsters 60's? Nuff sed?

Went to grad school up at Storrs (also at Yale) & played intramural on the Field House practice courts. Tony Hanson & I used to play one on one for fun often in those days - lotsa shooting contests. Also a kid named DeCicco who transferred to star at Bridgeport in the early 70's. Memories are flowin' now. Ha!

I played full court hoops regularly in decent leagues until I was 54. (nine knee operations, two spinal, plus knee & hip replacements - all badges of honor to play the game we love "forever," right?) I swim now! Ha!

December 1960 in the old Field House vs AIC. AIC had a center named Calhoun. Anyone know what happened to him?
