Not posting this for any IU information. Posting it because it refers to the “grandson of Milt Wagner.” Not sure I’ve read anything in my entire life that has made me feel older than that.

Yea, thanks for that. Man, I am old.

Wonder if Mama Eastern was consulted about this?

Jerry Sloane, father of IU BB player alum, Brian Sloane, and Basketball Hall of Fame coach passed away.

 

This past February our girls played in the Supersectional in his hometown. I met his cousin at the game. The gym is named after him.

Sloane was a good player in the NBA and at the University of Evansville.

Jerry Sloan wasn't just a good player at the University of Evansville--he was a great player there.

Jerry Sloan was a good enough college basketball player to be selected 4th in the 1965 NBA draft. So I suppose in your opinion you have to be selected in the top 3 in the draft to be better than just a "good" college  player.

No need to get upset because we have a difference of opinion. Did you see him play at U of E?

Did I see Jerry Sloan play at the University of Evansville? As a matter of fact I did--several times. And anyone who saw him play knows he was a great player. 

[323SGrant]

Obviously you’re wrong again. Everybody that saw him play at Evansville didn’t say he was a great player.

I'm not going bother discussing this with someone who obviously is unfamiliar with the subject and is just trying to be annoying.

Seems to me you’re annoying. I already told you we can have a difference of opinion, but apparently you’d rather resort to name calling. I saw him many times. I would take him on my team any day, however, once again, you describe him as a great player. I only reserve that description for a very small percentage of players.

As a two guard, in his senior year of college Jerry Sloan averaged 17.6 points per game, and 14.7 rebounds per game, (as a guard!) which led him to being the #4 overall pick in the NBA draft. To put that in perspective, no player in 26 years at any position has averaged more rebounds than Sloan did that year as a guard.

In his ten year NBA career as a two guard he averaged 14.0 points per game and 7.4 rebounds per game. To put that in perspective, he is the second highest rebounds per game average for a guard in the history of the whole freaking NBA! Oscar Robertson is barely higher at 7.50 rebounds per game. Also, in a 10 year career he was 1st team all-NBA defensive player four times, and 2nd team all-NBA twice. NBA Hall of Famer. Jersey retired at Evansville. 

That’s pretty great if you ask me.

Again, I saw him play many years in college and I would take him on my team any day. IMHO he was not great. I guess it depends on what you call great. Do you know who Evansville College played in those days? I saw who they played. Stat’s don’t tell everything Stu. I know you know that. He averaged 15 pts. per game at EC, but like I said, stats., aren’t everything. I saw the teams they were playing. You should be ashamed comparing him to Oscar Robertson. Ha! Are you going to say he was comparable to Jerry West next? Lol! You said he was pretty great. Additionally, as I mentioned previously, I’ve been referring to college participation only. I’d give him an A defensively, an A in rebounding and a C in shooting, especially from the outside. He was tough as nails and Larry Humes was a good friend of his and I would take Jerry Sloan on my team in a heartbeat. I loved his play. I rooted for him throughout his career. I only put a very few in the “great” category.

I’m biased.

My first basketball heroes were Norm Van Lier, Bob Love, Chet Walker, Tom Boerwinkle, and Jerry Sloan.

You got to be kidding Stuhoo. I loved that team! Including Jerry Sloan. He took E’ville College, to Division 2 National Championships. Sloan and Norm Van Lier would not give up easy buckets. IMHO, Sloan was a great defensive player and rebounder! Good discussion, btw. I’m bummed to hear of his passing.

Since you’ve mentioned it several times.. who would be in your list of “great” college basketball players?

Wow, how many years has that kid played? Saw this and the 1st thing I thought of was Bluto saying, “7 years of college down the drain.”
