Message: [QUOTE="longtimefan, post: 2153625, member: 212"] Remember, we had a freshman team back then, and JB was the head man, so he had some relevant experience. For those of you old enough--I remember an incident in Manley with Jerry Rhett, a slender 6-6 inside player. The coach had clearly told him [U]not[/U] to make like a stretch-4 (before there was such a term), and play near the hoop. Instead, Rhett floated to the perimeter, got the ball and measured a shot from 20 feet. In the comparative quiet of a half-empty arena came the bleat of the coach's voice "No Jerry, NO Jerry, NO JERRY!!" And Jerry fired. And was welcomed to the bench at the next dead ball. [/QUOTE]
