Actionless Contest

[Tim C]

One of the neat things about being old is that I was actually alive to witness (through the media) some of the oddities of "stallball."

I remember when USC stalled against UCLA (with Lew Alcindor) and a great photo in the sports pages the day after was Alcindor standing in the key, on defense, and reading the game program.

I attended a high school game in the 80's where a smaller Oregon School had two 7'0 brothers.

The visiting team stalled the first half and it was 4-0.

I went home.

And finally, when I was a high school coach we used the UNC "Four Corners" offense. My point guard was NOT Phil Ford but she could whip any other girl one-on-one.
