A sad note to the hoops marathon. Legendary coach Pete Newell passed away today. I didn't really know much about Newell, other than the fact that you would often hear about post players being sent to the "Pete Newell Big Man Camp." And usually when they came back, they were better players.
According to the bios they are showing, he won national championships at Cal, and at his camp, worked with such players as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Walton and Shaq.
A bit of a melancholy way to start the marathon.
