That was a typical snatch of
the announcer's patter during the
1964-65 basketball season. 1965,
as almost everyone knows, was
the banner year for Michigan
cagers. The Big Ten champion
Wolverines, ranked number one
in the country for a good portion
of the campaign, finished a dis-
appointing but inevitable second
to UCLA in the NCAA tourney at
Portland.
The cagers, who finished with
a 24-4 record, were somewhat
like the Cardiac Kids, fighting

back from half-time deficits
eight times that year before

. MAYBE THOSE last minute
finishes had a sobering effect on
the squad because many of the
veterans from that classic Wol-
verine squad are today success-
ful insurance men. Joining the
above mentioned starting f i v e
were reserves John Thompson,
Greg Dill, John Clawson and Jim
Meyers.
Of this nucleus only one has
remained in Ann Arbor. George
Pomey, the defensive ace and
Cazzie's running mate at guard,
works peddling insurance down
on Liberty. But his heart is still
in Michigan basketball. "We
really stuck together as a team,"
Pomey said, toying with the Big
Ten championship ring his squad
so wonderously earned. "You
know," he said, "we'd skip class-
es on the day of a game and
go to a movie or something."
That comradery is deep as
Pomey can recall instaneously
the whereabouts of every player,
even those who hardly played.
Cazzie Russel, a one-man-show,
went on to become a consensus
All-American as a senior and the
first player to be chosen in the
NBA draft, right ahead of De-
troit's Dave Bing.
AFTER A STINT with t h e

By The Associated Press
EVANSTON, Ill. - Tex Winter,
former coach of the Houston Rock-
ets of the National Basketball As-
sociation was named head basket-
playing forward for the War-
riors, and full-filling the role of
"super-sub", as he is one of
their leading scorers.
Oliver Darden, a junior during
Russell's last season, went on
to be elected the captain of the
1967 squad. After a very suc-
cessful senior year he went on
to play with the Indiana Pacers
of the ABA. During his stay with
the Pacers he built up a pros-
perous insurance business, a n d
quit the basketball scene upon
being traded to Kentucky to de-
vote fullitime to his business.
ANOTHER FORMER UM star
to take the insurance route was
Larry Tregoning, the captain of
the 1965 squad, now residing in
Ohio.
Greg Dill, a tall sophomore
back-up center that year, went on
to be one of the bright spots
in an otherwise disappointing
1967 season. After graduation he
played for the Pittsburgh Pip-
ers who won a zhampionship
during his stay. After that he
quit basketball and received a
law degree from Wayne State.
He now practices law in his
hometown of Saginaw.
Jim Meyers, a reserve for-
ward, joined the army following
graduation and did a couple of,
tours in Viet Nam. He is nov out
of the army, working as an en-
gineer in California.
Bill Buntin, the multitalented
starting center had undoubtedly
the saddest story of the class of
'65. Highly touted+ as a calleg-
ian, he was drafted by the Pist-
ons. Reporting to camp o v e r-
weight, he was unable to make
the squad. Later he attempted to
make the Detroit Lions football
team, when he suffered a mas-
sive coronary and died.
With the exception of Bun;n,
the members of that fabled year
are doing well in their post-col-
lege years. Hopefully, tne miem-
bers of this year's disastrous sea-
son will do as well.

WHO DID YOU INTERVIEW?
Exactly what kind of evidence did
you have to form judgments about
the University of Tennessee? How
much digging into the background
of your story were you able to do
while you were covering a na-
tional swimming meet?
Apparently not much. Your story
has angered people here, and it
has angered us because it was
egregiously inaccurate.
Your treatment of the swim meet
was amusing, but the rest of your
article struck me as the work of
a smug Yankee who came down
here to render his snap judgments
without bothering to see if his
facts checked out. It was irre-
sponsible journalism.
