Man, those were the days. You don't see that many "seniors" on the court in college anymore. In D-1 anyway.

[@Michaela243]

It was great to see Coach Smith on the sidelines again. The classiest coach ever in college basketball. It was interesting to hear the announcers talk about Kevin Madden not being allowed to play that year because he didn't meet UNC academic standards even though he met the NCAA standards. A sad contrast to how UNC forever lost is reputable academic status for giving players high grades for no show classes. Coach Smith assuredly rolled over in his grave in disappointment.

Reggie and Kenny just don't age

After Wooden retired in 75 - UCLA was up and down for years until winning that title in 95 with the O’Bannon brothers, Tyus Edney, Toby Bailey and Cameron Dollar.

All I could think when they introduced Pooh Richardson was = 1. His 1989 NBA Hoops card on the T-Wolves 2. Craig Kilborn on 90's SportsCenter calling him "Pooh Pooh Kachoo"

It should still be despised, it changed the game, but not for the better.

Oh how the game has evolved!! This game seems all "clogged up" in comparison to today's brand of Ball 🏀🏀

Also u know today they don't call travelling, carrying or double dribble. Euro step back in the day was just plain travelling.

Should have been a impact pro. A little like Kwame Brown in regards to pressure and expectations.

[@29mailliw]

I don't agree with that he produced he was just on the spurs behind David Robinson before bouncing around but he made a solid contribution

[@bryanricks6864]

He had a decent career. I think he could have been a bigger contributor, but high expectations met impatience. (Not saying he played like KB, just his situation was similar)

[@michaelhillary6810]

[@bryanricks6864]

I was at that UCLA vs UNC game. He was rumored to be coming to the Bruins but went with the Heels. The students were giving him the business when he checked in but he silenced that quickly. Straight up man among boys (and Kenny Smith, Reggie Miller, Pooh Richardson, were on the floor…as were others who played in the NBA). I don’t say he should have been bigger derisively, I just feel he was a major talent.
