Watching the '82 NCAA Championship Game

[jdw3018]

Wow, what a different game it was back then. No 3-point line, no shot clock. The game was called so differently - much "tighter" for lack of a better term (I'd even call some of them "touch" fouls, a term I hate), though not many fouls overall in the game.

Ewing had 5 goaltends in the first half - and at that point UNC had 10 of their 18 points from goaltending violations.

Hank Nichols was the referee - mechanics were very different, though I was surprised there were 3 officials. Anyone know when the NCAA went to 3-man?

Ewing, Worthy, Perkins, Jordan - wow were there some players on the court.
