Pat Smith: The Evil Dr. Blackheart

Could be the greatest nickname. Reminded me of this story from a Pete Axthelm SI article on the McGuire family back in 1967:

Al played with broken jaws and broken noses as a pro, and he clearly expects the same from his players. In return he treats them like men—men he happens to like and respect. "I coach on a man-to-man basis," he explains. "I don't set strict rules. I just tell them not to hurt the university or me. In return I'll protect them at all costs."

The cost almost got to be very high last January, after Marquette had lost in a two-point upset at the University of Detroit. Al was walking slowly off the court, not saying anything or paying special attention to anyone around him. "I still remember what I was thinking," he says. "I was wondering who we could upset to make up for that loss. Then all of a sudden I saw Pat on the ground." Reserve Center Pat Smith had been jostled by some happy Detroit fans and, in turn, had knocked someone down. Now Smith was being pinned against the bleachers by two guys in blue shirts. "They had no caps on, and I just thought they were ushers or something," says Al.

One man happened to be Patrolman James Tanderys of the Detroit Police Department. But even if Al had known that, it is doubtful that he would have reacted any differently. His kid was down, and he almost instinctively moved to pull the man off him. The cop somehow caught a hand or elbow in his face during the skirmish and quickly blamed Al. For several days Al worried about the bad publicity and the charges, until the patrolman decided that nobody had hit him after all, and the affair was dropped. "If I had hit him," Al said, "don't worry, he wouldn't have had any doubts about it."

THE ANSWER

[Jockey]

Jockey

One of my all time favorites as well. Absolutely loved watching him play. That jumper was a thing of beauty.

He was a beautiful player to watch and as talented as any Warrior ever. He was just too easy going of a guy - didn't have the killer instinct that a superstar needs to have.
