Yes, the SEC did not have hardly any Black players until the 1970s, so Pistol Pete’s competition was almost all White guys
Agreed.
I wouldn't counter with that. I think they're fun talking points. Why you trying to hate on me bro?
I thought 6 on 6 should have played with 2 basketballs. One on each half court. Constant offense.
That would be incorrect. One team played offense and the other defense on each side of mid court. When the ball crossed mid court the roles changed so for your own team you had players that only played defense, and players that only played offense. I believe they were limited to two dribbles as well, so passing was at a premium....
Not impossible, but we’d have to make it deep in both tournaments and she’d have to average a little over 10 per game. Or we make it all the way to the final and she averages like 8 per game which is doable but tough.
Should have launched a couple from behind the half court line her Sr. year to get some career stats.
He also played in an almost completely segregated SEC, has dad ran the offense through him, he shot hundreds of more shots over those three seasons than Caitlin has so far, and assumes Caitlin would shoot logo 2s with the same frequency rather than driving to the hoop more often, shooting a higher percentage and drawing fouls.Pete Maravich played in a much different time, too. He couldn't play his freshman year, there was no 3 point line and there was no shot clock.
So, disregard what he did, too? Because, as you stated, comparisons between Pete & the modern day player and the modern game would be unrealistic.
I don't remember who posted it on X, but someone pointed out the hypocrisy (shocking) that is the NCAA recognizing Tara VanDerveer's wins from the AIAW but not individual player records.
I hear you. I had three sons and no daughters, so didn't think much about title 9 even though the Mrs was a pretty good player. Then my sons started having their kids and I have 3 grandsons, and FOUR granddaughters. I can tell you it changes your perspective on access and opportunity for both genders.
She had 60 points against Eastern Washington State College in the (small school) tourney
