POPULARITY
Send us a text1979 marked a pivotal year in basketball history, with Larry Bird leading the Indiana State Sycamores to an undefeated regular season. Before this, Bird remained relatively unknown, despite his exceptional talent. The national broadcast of the Sycamores' game against Wichita State, championed by individuals like Rex Lardner and Al McGuire, brought Bird's skills to the forefront. This game, a resounding victory for Indiana State, solidified their position as the nation's top team and marked the beginning of Bird's legendary career. The rising popularity of college basketball coincided with a decline in the NBA's appeal, possibly due to factors like drug issues and a lack of a dominant team. Bird's captivating journey, from his early days to his national recognition, is a testament to his hard work, resilience, and undeniable talent.Nick Kroll Larry Bird - https://youtu.be/b5kaRbokoo8?si=bimIS-Bbdcjq6uo6Sidney Moncrief was a PROBLEM! - https://youtu.be/EWsdjUjZscw?si=EOjzRkZSHohHVvunSupport the showSupport the Pod or Binge the Entire Season Now! https://www.buzzsprout.com/1269236/support https://youtube.com/@IconicSeasons Connect on Social https://www.instagram.com/ncaaiconicseasons/
Howard Cosell had a boisterous personality. He once said, “I've been accused of being arrogant, pompous, obnoxious, vain, cruel, a showoff…and of course I am.” He was sarcastically nicknamed “Humble Howard.” In one of his sports commentaries, he suggested that Terry Bradshaw did not have the intelligence to win in the league. But in 1993, TV Guide named Cosell “The Best All-Time Sportscaster.” Howard called many of Muhammad Ali's boxing matches. His most famous championship fight call was the George Forman-Joe Frazier fight in Kingston, Jamaica. That's when Cosell yelled “Down goes Frazier, down goes Frazier.” You may remember on Monday Night Football, Dec. 8, 1980, Cosell announced the death of John Lennon. In this podcast he answers his critics and suggests that Al McGuire and other coaches had an unfair means of getting their star players. Of course, I gave McGuire a chance to answer that accusation.

He was part of three Bulls championship teams. He also played in the 1988 NCAA championship game as part of a very good Oklahoma team that lost to Kansas.

Chicago legend Maurice “Bo” Ellis, the 17th pick in the 1977 NBA Draft and one of the men who put Marquette Basketball on the map, joins Will Gates and Arthur Agee on this episode of Hoop Dreams The Podcast. Will's former coach talks about growing up on Chicago's Southside in the “real Inglewood”, appearing in the Hoop Dreams Documentary and playing in two NCAA National Championship games while winning one of them. Bo discusses how he ended up at Marquette playing for Al McGuire, how he majored in art, going to Mount Mary College and taking the Fashion Design Program, which led to him designing the basketball uniforms that he ended up playing in. You don't want to miss this one, Bo shares valuable life lessons and drops some wisdom on us.
He is quoted as saying “I think everyone should go to college and get a degree and then spend six months as a bartender and six months as a cab driver. Then they would really be educated.” That was Al McGuire, broadcaster and basketball head coach at Marquette University from 1964 to 1977. He won a national championship in his final season at Marquette and was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1992. I asked Al for his thoughts on coaching, his feud with fellow broadcaster Billy Packer, and his insight into Marquette basketball. His final comment was typical Al McGuire.

Earl Tatum can tell stories, that is for sure! Listen to him and current Homestead High School Basketball Coach, Sean Crider, tell stories from his journey from Mount Vernon, NY, through his NBA career! These are their tales from the locker room!
From 2002 comes this interview with Milwaukee writer Tom Kertscher, talking about his book "Cracked Sidewalks and French Pastry: The Wit and Wisdom of Al McGuire." McGuire, a veteran of the NBA, was a beloved coach at Marquette University for many years as well as a much admired basketball commentator.
Dick Bennett was one of the great coaches in Wisconsin basketball history. Coach Bennett mastered the “re-building of programs,” achieving success at every stop from small high schools to major Division 1 programs – including leading the Wisconsin Badgers to the NCAA Final Four. Coach Bennett has served as a mentor to countless players and coaches, and he impacted countless lives along the way. In part one of our conversation on the SGG podcast, we discussed: 1. Reconnecting with his high school basketball coach, Jerry Grunska, who had a significant influence on Coach Bennett wanting to become a coach. 2. Why high school was his favorite level at which to coach. “All there was to the job was a love of the game and a love for the kids.” 3. Making early mistakes and learning on the job during his first years as a high school coach: “I don't think I made it quite simple enough.” 4. Taking a coaching class from Marquette's Al McGuire, attending clinics around the Midwest – and sitting, listening to Adolph Rupp, John Wooden, and Henry Iba. 5. Seeing the game the same way as Bob Knight – who almost became the Wisconsin Coach. 6. The Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association. 7. Advocating for Terry Porter in tryouts for various national teams. 8.

Al McGuire wanted to do something for the kids of Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin. The legendary Marquette coach felt a special connection to the children and families that were receiving care at the local hospital. So he started a race to benefit the hospital that started at Marquette’s campus and runs through downtown Milwaukee. Today, Brigg’s and Al’s Walk and Run has been a Milwaukee tradition for more than 40 years. Each year, thousands of participants line up on Wisconsin Avenue on Marquette University’s campus to walk or run in support of Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin. The event is a critical fundraiser for Children’s but it’s also a day for families and the community to come together to support and celebrate the children in their lives. Today, we’ll find out why Brigg’s and Al’s Walk and Run is named for the legendary Marquette figure, how Marquette and Children’s have worked together over the years, and what the race means to Milwaukee.

Veteran broadcaster of more than 50 Michael Jordan rookie games (1984-85), Bill Hazen. Hazen previously appeared on the finale of our #NB85 series. However, that was an edited-down version, relating solely to the 1985 Chicago Bulls. This is the entire conversation, covering Bill's whole career, to date. Hazen was born and raised in Chicago. We briefly discuss the city's history of professional basketball; leading to the expansion Bulls' entry, in the NBA's 1966-67 season. Bill discusses his career in broadcasting. His journey began in Columbus, Indiana - working as a disc-jockey and producing commercials - before he landed "the break of a lifetime" and moved to Milwaukee, becoming Sports Director for WISN Radio. This also gave Bill the opportunity to call play-by-play for the Marquette Golden Eagles, surrounded by luminaries Al McGuire, Hank Raymonds and Rick Majerus. Later, Bill took a job as a sports broadcaster and talk-show host, at Houston's KTRH. As circumstance would have it, when the talk show was not on the air, the station broadcast Houston Rockets games. Bill then worked play-by-play on TV games, for the Rockets' late-1970s teams, calling names like Moses Malone, John Lucas and Rudy Tomjanovich, to name a few. You'll hear some amazing accounts of Michael Jordan's first season in the NBA. Hazen was in attendance at Angel Guardian Gym - the Bulls' practice facility for Jordan's rookie season - he watched Michael shake hands with new coach, Kevin Loughery, before training camp had even commenced. We reminisce about some of the great moments during Jordan's first season as a pro, including this remarkable piece of commentary that Bill exclaimed, in November, 1984. Another stellar piece of Bill's commentary, was later used in the iconic advertising campaign, 'America's Game / NBA Action: It's FANtastic'. We also discuss Bill's early use of computer technology to prepare for games and the dismantling of numerous personnel - coaches, executives and broadcasters - following the Bulls' 1985 season. In the mid-1990s, Bill worked for ESPN International, recording live audio to accompany 'Game of the Week' packages, distributed overseas. Also at this time, Bill called games for the NFL and produced live audio for the 1995 MLB World Series. We conclude our wide-ranging conversation, chatting about Bill's production company. The most prominent people mentioned in this episode, include: Michael Jordan, Kevin Loughery, Johnny Red Kerr, Paul Westhead, Orlando Woolridge, Jerry Sloan, Sidney Moncrief, Jawann Oldham, Dave Corzine, Rod Thorn & Vernon Maxwell.
