Highlights from the 1958-1959 Mountaineer Basketball Season

I remember watching WVU with West on TV. Their out of bounds play was an entry pass to Jerry at the top of the key who rarely missed a jump shot from there. He was a great one.

I also remember watching on a small black & white TV set with rabbit ears. lol That one point loss to the Cal Bears was one of Jerry' s biggest disappointment as well as Mountaineer fans everywhere. Back in those days, the WVU basketball games were even heard down deep in the coal mines.

Love hearing Jack Fleming here.

I met Jerry West at a sports festival in West Virginia in 1984.

He was genuine and humble when he visited the WVU Libraries. Is that how you found him?
