Amazing that they could win both tourneys while shaving points.

Everyone - sign along.

"Any points you can shave, I can shave better. I can shave any points better than you. No you can't. Yes I can. No you can't. Yes I can. No you can't. Yes I can, YES I CAN!"

"Ed Warner was the MVP of the NIT thanks to his 21.7 points per game. After the scandal broke, all players involved pled guilty and received suspended sentences; except for Warner, who served six months in jail. He’d spend one more stint in prison for attempting to sell heroine. Following that, Warner went into high school officiating. In 1984 he was partly paralyzed after a car accident and became an observer of officials for NYC high schools."

I don't know signing, but I have a pretty good voice.
