Well, I've been pissed off for awhile that there was no Wikipedia page for the basketball team (even though there was one for the football team, and the hoops squads of dozens of smaller schools), so I finally cowboyed up and created one. It's not much, but it's a start.
Feel free to add to it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penn_State_Nittany_Lions_men%27s_basketball
Nice Start, although I noted that the A-10 didn't exist in 1977. It was the Old Eastern Eight.
I threw on Coaches and NBA players (which I know is incomplete)
I also added a page for Elmer Gross. PSU's most successful coach should have a place of honor.
Thanks for your help! I'm sure other members here have their own expertise and knowledge to contribute, so the more the merrier. This could be a nice educational tool for new fans and those who are unfamiliar with the program. I mean, there's so much out that is written about football's past - it's time to build a nice little repository for hoops.
Thanks alpha.
I also put together a wiki for Kurt, Dan Earl already had one (who knew). While I was at I also tweaked Johnny Bach, Dick Harter and Jerry Dunne, not to mention Jesse Arnelle. I updated the 2007-08 season review (which I basically cribbed of yahoo sports) on Ed's page.
Can you tell I am procrastinating : )
I added a list of "Notable" PSU players at the bottom of the page.
btw to encourage everyone to browse through the Wikipedia listing try to answer the following PSU NCAA tournament trivia question?
When was the only time two former PSU players faced each others as head coaches in the NCAA tournament. The answer, to quote Roy Scheider, is not going to swim up and bite you on the @ss, you might have to rummage a big and connect some dots.
