I don't know, but you are definitely leading Eric and Billy Madison in the race for who will control Madison Hotels

I would assume he is honored above all others, as he is here

Hmmm. I will continue to fight the good fight. Guess I will see you in the pasture after accumulating enough points for retirement. Maybe see you at the Grove next year. Cheers!! SOAB51

I think the Grove is in two years. If we see each other in a year, we're gonna be the only two guys in Cal gear, LOL.

Sounds good to me. A trip to Memphis, Graceland, etc., will be awesome. Then a trip to The Grove. And a great tailgate, followed by a Cal victory over Mississippi. Can't wait! Cheers Yogi! See ya there!

I think prior to 1981 in the NBA, there was a 3 free throws to make 2 rule. It was eliminated in either '81 or '82. Prior to the 1954-55 season, the NBA established the rule that a backcourt foul would result in a "three to make two" situation (up to three attempts to make two free throws) if the violating team was over the team foul limit.By 1979, the rule had been extended to the penalty situation for flagrant fouls, fouls made in the act of shooting (resulting in a miss), and fouls due to the swinging of the elbows.[5] Prior to the 1981-82 season, this rule, as well as the related "two to make one" rule were abolished. Perhaps someone with better basketball knowledge can elaborate on this better than I can.

Many thanks for this information. It saved me the time it would take me to look it up. And I wasn't sure if I had lost my mind or just forgotten the answer, so this confirms the latter, which is better than the former. Even way back when the event happened, there were geniuses who came up with incredibly convoluted rules for what was once the simple game of basketball. Even though some of the old complicated rules are gone, the modern rules committees have carried on the tradition of cluttering up the game with with new and different rules. Evry year there are rule changes to favor offens or favor defense, or whatever. They are never happy with letting the players play.

In High School with Dontrelle Willis on the mound, we're playing Dublin High School. 1st inning I'm playing 1st base and someone hits the ball off the end of the bat. I'm charging home to catch it but decide to let it drop in case I don't make it in time for the catch. The ball has a crazy side spin, bounces and skips to the side. In what felt like slow motion, it skips by me and barely hits the corner of the bag which led to a run scoring. Dontrelle ends up shutting them out the remainder of the game, but their pitcher Sean Parker is shutting us out too. Last inning with 2 outs one of my teammates hits a solo shot to tie the game, but we lose in extra. Not only did my play cost us the game, but I went 0-3 with 2 strikeouts and all three at bats were shown Sports Focus with the one I put in play getting play of the week.

Had a birdseye view of his game vs El Cerrito his senior year. Fantastic player.

Senior year of High School. I am captain of the soccer team. We reach the final of the Brentwood pre-season tournament. Game is 2-2 and goes to Penalty kicks. I am kicking 5th and last. We are down one PK. Keeper dives left. I put the ball to the right, and inches above the crossbar. We lose. I let the team down. It was a good season and we ended up winning the league. I was inconsolable, however, the day of the tournament final.
