Typical Al
« on: June 26, 2020, 12:06:07 PM »
I smiled when I ran across this old press photo for sale on ebay. It is an example why we old farts remain nostalgic for this guy's game antics.

During the 77 champ year, the great game coach Al McGuire apparently did not like the way a home game had started. So, of course,... he substituted for and pulled the entire starting five off the floor.

This picture shows the subdued starting 5 getting ready to sub back into the game.

Have we had a coach since then that ever did this?

I'm thinking Deane did that as well, but not 100% certain.

Dean’s version of this was to utilize all of his timeouts in the first five mins

When Crean was here, the team was flat in the first half, so he started a walk-on (a friend of mine) for the second half.

It does sort of look like Judd, but Judd has less hair than the guy in that picture.

I believe Wojo did it last year in at least one game. Maybe he only pulled 4 players, but it was "dramatic".

Not the only thing. Wojo coaches basketball at Marquette, and Al coached basketball at Marquette. That's why many of us root/rooted for each to succeed.

Absolutely correct, sir. Good to see someone catch that.

You actually have a degree from Marquette?

No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.

If you're talking about the guy between Butch and Toone, that's Ulice Payne.

That looked like 1978 instead of 1977. I thought I saw Butch, Ulice, BT, Boylan and Jerome in the photo.

No Bo, who would have started in 1977.

Al broke barriers. Does that make you feel uncomfortable?
