Message: [QUOTE="BillSU, post: 4169545, member: 6809"] Thank you for your reply. 2200 students ...that's a lot, hope your school did well in sports particularly basketball. I enjoy reading your posts about how you observed each game and what you liked or disliked. I'm just understanding basic stuff and able to see the pick and roll, screens, how they set up other plays, why is Frank standing in the corner alone and no one is throwing the ball to him? As a Freshman and Soph at Manley BB games I was the spotter for the official scorer as he lived in married student housing along with me and he asked if I'd like to help. Every home game I was right at court side. What an atmosphere. 10,000 screaming Orange fans and great games at Manley, Oranges thrown onto the court especially for Georgetown. The introductions were not kind to the opposing team as the entire crowd as someone was introduced it would be - PA - "and at guard BillSU," crowd, SO WHAT, or worse. it was great. Never played BB except in eighth grade. Football, track and baseball. Genes came from my father who was an Olympic caliber runner who was captain of the NYU track team. Then he went to Columbia for his masters and ran for them. His specialty was the mile and cross country - a lot of medals. Ran sprints after trying cross country. The stitches and shin splints hurt too much and even though as a freshman at one of the prep schools I went to I could finish with the varsity and they were on me to finish with them. I chose sprints as a sophomore. As a senior I was the N.J. state champion in the 100 and 200 YD dash. I went to SU when Floyd did and we both ran 9.7 hundreds. What a kind, giving man he was. We used to run sprints to finish up practices and I remember team members asking and yelling at us to slow down because they'd have to stay and do more if one of the assistants thought they weren't giving 100% all the time, which I tried to do to get better - it's the only way you can your workouts have to be all out every time and eventually you can get there if you really want to.
