I was curious though if you still had a copy of that scouting report and follow up report buried somewhere in your hoops material? If possible could you send me a copy of each or scan a copy and make it a PDF to e-mail to me? Regards, Scott M. Shepard Skip was a great guy. I totally mean that even though I am a Cincinnati guy.

Keith, all-state at Bridgeport High, I believe, played for me when I coached at Harvard. He and I have stayed pretty close. A great, great guy who was a tough player. Came very close to making the Jazz out of Harvard, all-Ivy. His dad, Bruce Webster, won 600+ games at U. of Bridgeport, famously coached Manute Bol. I bet you went to Bruce Webster's camp!

When I was on the freshman team that storied year, the only kid who could possibly (ethnically speaking) have been Willis Reed's nephew was a kid named Wendell Holland. He did play the next year for Hal Wissel (after Digger left). Additionally, you are right, the Rams took Marquette who was #2 in the country at the time to OT. Fordham's center, a kid named <a href="http://www.zambettimd.com/" rel="nofollow">George Zambetti</a>, missed the front end of a 1-and-1 with less than 20 secs to go. Zambetti went on to be the orthopedic surgeon for the NY Football Giants, so I guess he got over missing those FTs. I remember when we played Columbia, and all of us were on the bus because the frosh team traveled with the varsity that game, The Rams had trashed Columbia and Digger was in the front of the bus. Everyone was loose and happy but at one point Digger yelled back to Zambetti, "George, how did you ever wind-up with 15 rebounds?" And Zambetti yelled back, "perseverance!" It was pretty funny. Digger did an amazing job that year. I learned so much about how a head coach should/can relate to players from him. He was all about giving them confidence.

Yelverton was incredible. I think he jumped center at 6'2". Kenny Charles was on the team, too. I think Fordham may have taken Marquette with Meminger and Chones into OT that year, as well.As far as the freshman team goes, Steve, I think there was a kid, Willis Reed's nephew or something that may have played the next year, Phil something that was good. I went to Fordham for a year but was not good enough to play D1 and transferred to a D3 school and played. PJ Carlisimo was coaching the JV team when i went there. I grew up around Bridgeport and we had great teams with players lie Walt Luckett. Frank Oleynik, John Bagley and Charles Smith. Tom Penders was coaching Bridgeport Central and they were awesome.

The game at the Garden against Notre Dame is the most exciting I have ever seen. Charlie at 6'2" throwing away Colis Jones' (at 6'9") layup is forever engraved in my mind. I was recently told that Charlie is now teaching at a high school in New York.

For example, while watching the PFL game after my own last Saturday, the following thought passed through my mind: "Boy, you know you've thrown a really bad pass when Carruthers can't catch it."

But Villanova's own Kyle Lowry beat him out as Damon Stoudamire's backup. Big Five pedigree is tough to beat, though I haven't seen Lowry dribble like Conley can.
