I’m with Harold on this, especially with Cal going against USF tonight.

Big loss for basketball and a classy post. Thanks, guys!

8. That will be part of the new site design, which we should have up and running in a week or so. We’re close, but just some leg work things that need to get done.

Pete’s passing is very sad to hear. He was a great man and a legend of the sport. George Irvine wrote another great, very personal, tribute on Basketball.org that is also worth the read.

Kurt, off topic, Can you put maybe 3 upcoming games on the sidebar, just for quick reference.

I always thought that Stu Lantz’s credibility was enhanced by the fact that he worked at the Big Man Camp. I hope the Lakers do something classy for him.

RIP Pete Newall. We’ve lost a great teacher of the game that we all love. He will be sorely missed.

RIP Pete. Thanks for everything. The fact that he won it all as the coach of USF should tell you enough about the guy.

Newell was a class act the whole way. A better man than me, that’s for sure. The world was better having known him.

Part of the reason the Lakers are the best organization in basketball.

Gatinho, You are always a wealth of knowledge when it comes to subjects like this, I knew he was in the Laker FO in the 70′s, but did not know all of the other creditials that he had, quite a man.
