I wondered how he'd live without the Pac-12. Turns out, he won't.

Had he been healthy, he would be consensus top 10 all-time.

Greatest performance ever by a college player back in the early 70s against Memphis State.

His stat-line that game was ridiculous.  He had a sweet little bank shot.  Lucas loved the guy.  Sad news.  I like his zip outlet passes.

One of the true all time greats. Basketball Career cut short by injuries. Was a fun announcer and always was very Pro MU over the years from his relationship with Maurice Lucas, who he named his son Luke after.

Sounds like he fought the cancer hard till the end .

Nobody is perfect, but Bill was overwhelming net positive for the game. Didn't take it too seriously and had other important interest outside of the game that lent to having sports in proper perspective. At lest, that how I saw it.

Did he ever play vs. Marquette?

Also, did he announce a Maui game for us?
