Some members of this forum took issue and thought he should have used washtubs instead of peach baskets. At the time, MTD's attic contained just old trunks and unused furniture, not his archives, and BillyMac had already sent Naismith 500 posts (postcards at 1¢ apiece). Ilyazhito, although not yet born, offered his opinion on 17 ways to improve the game.

Oh, and I was lurking in the balcony at the game.

Today's trivia question: Of all of the Head Coaches of men's basketball at the University of Kansas (my mother's alma mater), only one HC had a losing record for his time at KU? Who was he?

MTD, Sr.
