Message: [QUOTE="Capt. Tuttle, post: 4523077, member: 191"] From an interview with Bill Walton. Dale Brown tried to answer that question for Pete. Worked off the running score, with distance being estimated, but probably as good as it can get, absent film. [I]“Amazing [thing] about Pete is … 44 points per game, in his career, for three straight years in an era with no 3-point line. Dale Brown, who coached LSU after Press and Pete were there, went back and charted all the games with the running score – Maravich free-throw, Maravich 22-foot jumper, Maravich lay-up – and he calculated that with the current college 3-point line rule at 19’9” Pete Maravich would have averaged 13 3-point makes per game, which would have given him a career average of 57.0 points per game under today’s rules! That guy was UN-BE-LIEVABLE! We love him, we miss him terribly, what a great man, what a great human being.”[/I] Bill Walton [/QUOTE]
