Did McNeil go into the stands because his wife got into an altercation over seats?

Larry sat behind me in Father Piotrowski's Christian marriage course.  There was a game where a fan was being vocally critical of Larry's performance and his wife got into an altercation with the guy.  Al called a time out and Larry went up into the stands to "settle" things down!

The Chones, McNeil, Lucas combination would have been awesome!  McNeil was forced to play center for the tournament went Chones jumped to the ABA.

Larry was a very good college player - not so much as a pro.

I believe his last stop after some time in the NBA was with the Rochester (NY) Zeniths of the old CBA.

Do the name Andy Friedrich ring a bell?

Played from 73-79.  Avearged 8.5 PPG and 4.8 RPG.  Shot 78% from the FT line.  NBA.com claims his nickname was The Hawk.  I don't recall that at all.

I think McNeill also won the NBA slam dunk contest - and that occurred after he had been cut shortly before the All Star break by the Kings.

"Following the merger of the two leagues in 1976, Hillman would become an NBA Slam Dunk champion. He edged out Golden State's Larry McNeill for the 1977 crown during the league's championship series in Portland, Ore."

When I wrote the book a few years ago I ranked him as the 14th greatest MU player of all time.  Jerel would have certainly passed him, and would have to do the math on the last couple of years of players, but definitely top 20 of all time.

The www.valueaddsports.com analysis of basketball, football and baseball players are intended to neither be too hot or too cold - hundreds immerse themselves in studies of stats not of interest to broader fan bases (too hot), while others still insist on pure observation (too cold).

I wrote a book a few years back, "The Ultimate Hoops Guide: Marquette University."  Still have a few new copies in a box, and happy to send you one if you just email me your address at jpudner@concentricgrasstops.com.  Loads of fun for me!
