Danforth was 45-90 at Tulane after being 148-71 at SU  (193 - 161 career coaching record)  and gave up coaching  5 years after leaving SU to become Tulane's AD.

Fred Lewis was 91-57 at SU. Lewis quit because he wanted to take SU to the next level and was having big problems with the administration in doing it. He won at Southern Mississippi (89-38), SU (91-57), Hawaii(21-2). I couldn't find his coaching record at Sacramento State but after coaching, he ended up their AD and died there in 1994.

A Bud Polquin article on Fred Lewis republished from a 1989 article in 2013. Sad he never got his due.

Interesting Philly article with Coach Danforth in 1986 whether he had regrets. [URL]http://articles.philly.com/1986-02-19/sports/26089500_1_roy-danforth-tulane-basketball-program[/URL]

Would be nice if we recognized Roy soon, he's 79 years old now.

Forgot to mention that Fred Lewis not only recruited Dave Bing but he also hired Danforth and JB as coaches.
