Title: Butch Lee on guard play.
Post by: JD on February 21, 2013, 12:34:27 PM
Pretty good article on guards in college basketball, and a few quotes from Mr. Lee himself.

"The problem is now a player like that is not going to stay around that many years," Lee said. "Back when I was playing, a lot of guys played four years, three or four years. Now guys like Derrick Rose, Kyrie Irving, John Wall, that type of player who can run a team and score baskets is a hot commodity.

"Those guys don't stay in school long enough to have a chance to win that award."

(Regarding the Wooden Award)

Jim Boylan was the true point guard on that 76-77 team....

Duh.  I guess that Michael Rothstein is guessing that butch was a point guard because of his height.
