I'm gonna guess Digger Phelps, Notre Dame, only cause I hate that smug SOB.

OT: Answer the question correctly, Give the next question. No cheating.
- Thread starter skysdad
- Start date

If I had only one spot left at my annual oyster roast, Len Elmore would be shuckin' and Digger would be truckin'. That's sayin' a lot.

OK. My second guess is Jack Craft from URI, because he had been Nova's coach previously Rollie was Nova's coach in '78, I think.

Again a good guess Will...still looking....This coach was pretty intense in his disdain for our squad....Bulletin board material was great!

Heyman I remember Sly Williams and that RI gang!Whew.....Was that Tommy Penders team IIRC??? Not him but you're VERY WARM- Opponent came later....

Got it Buckin! Bob Weinhauer, (but like YOUR spelling better!) After his Penn Quakers fell to the Blue Devils he was Bo Ryanlike SALTY!! Said some disparaging things IIRC about our team's play and predicted we would fall to Villy...Haha Bob!!
Buckin you are up my friend!!

Weinhauer compared Duke to lumbering elephants.
I'll throw out an easy one.
Name the Duke player who scored in double figures in every one of his games at Duke. Three-year player.

Since the two most likely candidates have been taken, I'll go with Bob Verga.
I don't know if there is factual evidence of this or not but, who is rumored to have done the first reverse dunk in NCAA history?
Dennard is rumored to have done it first, right after tip off of an NCAAT game in Raleigh I think it was.
Your turn again Hart to Chesson.

Danged it I was going to say that but I couldn't imagine Heyman not hitting double figures. OFC
Thanks Buckin....
Name two kids Coach K narrowly missed out on who opted for St.Johns in the early 80s? (K's program was in its infancy and he was trying to establish things-which he did rather nicely I believe, lol)

What did Christian Laettner say during the time out with 12.7 seconds left (IIRC) vs Vegas in the 91 semi.
I remember this being brought up in the 30 for 30 I still hate Christian Laettner special and I agree with harttochesson that Laettner said "I'll make em" or something to that effect
Something along the lines of "Don't worry, I got this."
A follow-up on Mullin and Wennington. One of their St. John's teammates has a son who currently plays in the ACC. Name the father and the son.

Ok, Jim Sumner's question is still on the table, but I will go ahead and throw one on the table....
Name the guard who left after Bill Foster's first year at Duke, upset over his playing status??

Nobody.
Rick Gomez left after Foster's second year. Barely played and barely remembered.
But I suspect you're aiming for Kenny Young, who stayed two years and was in the rotation, off the bench. Demanded to start and when reminded that Duke's starting guards were Tate Armstrong and Jim Spanarkel, he decided to try elsewhere. Bucknell, I believe.
Had he stayed, he would have gotten dibs on the vacancy that opened up with Armstrong's broken wrist. Instead, Steve Gray got the nod and was not ready for prime time.
Interesting speculation. Had Young stayed and played well after Armstrong's injury in '77, does he hold off Harrell and Bender as a senior incumbent in 1978?
Since no one has bit on my St. John's question, I'll give the answer. Maverick Rowan's father Ron played for that great 1985 St. John's team that included Chris Mullin, Bill Wennington, Walter Berry and Mark Jackson.

Name the first school to ever produce three first-round picks in the same draft. Who were those 3 players?
