Stories

Jack Frasco was not only a prolific scorer, but also an excellent passer. On one memorable occasion be came out to the wing position and posted up. I passed the ball to him and cut to the basket brushing my defensive guard into Jack as I cut by him. I was wide open going to the basket as no one picked me up. Jack without looking back raised the ball over his head and made a perfect blind pass to me right into my hands at perfect height and speed. I missed the layup!!! 

Jack, being the tremendous teammate he was, never said an audible word. I felt I owed him an explanation, “Sorry jack, that was the greatest pass. I must have hit my head on the rim!” Then Jack said a few choice words!!! Everyone had a good laugh and we went on to win the game.
