He was also a good autograph signer in the mail. I did not read the article, but I had heard of his passing last week. It was his idea to put the Generals forward as the hapless straight men for the 'Trotters. He was player/coach when he scored that winning basket to beat them in 1971. Not to be nitpicky, but the Bullets were members of the BAA at the time not the NBA. The NBA media machine would have you think that the league existed two years before it did and that the NBL and BAA did not really matter.
