Intentional Fouls

[Hawks Coach]

Excellent game summary - and absolutely right. I grew up in Bloomington Normal IL, where Doug Collins went to college (ISU). He came back and was terated to a gold medal hero's welcome complete with the Goodyear Blimp (the only time that thing ever made it to town when I lived there!). I subscribed avidly to the myth of "we was robbed - and it was those Damn commie block officials!"

Many years later I saw a show that explained what really happened and the full sequence of events. Not what we heard here in the Cold War. but it made a lot more sense, and while i still feel that bad officiating cost us the game, I no longer feel as though it was a case of giving the Ruskies do-overs until they scored.
