I used to love college ball back in the day. The Princeton offense could level the playing field against bigger, more athletic and talented teams. His kids were a pleasure to watch.
And Luigi Carnesecca turned 95 earlier this year. Another gem on the court. He coached some great players in his time. St. John's hasn't been the same since he left.
Just reminiscing. Where does the time go.
But I have to say Lou was a jerk
Still cant believe how great a game that was against Georgetown in the mid 80s. And I remember going with my high school buddies to Jadwin Gym when they hosted Loyola-Maramount in the early 90s - run n' gun against Princeton's milk the clock approach... Princeton ended up crushing them in a rare national TV appearance.
Happy 90th Pete.
But I have to say Lou was a jerk
Why was Louie a jerk? I have never heard that before?
I also remember seeing him in Denver, the visiting team had him as an NBA assistant coach. Can't remember the team, but it was weird.
