"BTW - in one of the posts in this thread, it stated that Chick Hearn was a former player and official. Where was this? It was my understanding that Chick came to L.A. from WMRO in Aurora, Illinois in the late 60s."
Could it be possible Hearn played and officiated BEFORE he started announcing? He started broadcasting in LA in 1956, doing USC football and basketball. I don't know where Chick played and officiated, but I've heard it mentioned a few times about his career.
