My mother's 1941 and 1942 Compton High School and Junior College yearbooks had photos of Winter, Pete Roselle (former NFL), and Duke Snider (Dodger Hall of Famer).

This offense is just as revolutionary as Bill Walsh’s West Coast Offense for football.

The offence works so well, because the pro stars don’t like any offense. This one gives them a strategy that allows them to go to the basket if they can or pass. Its simple and creates a one on one. The bulls could have lots of stars on the same court with the triangle. And each star could score. Of course once Michael got into a one on one he went for the basket. If the defense collapsed he knew right where to kick the ball out to a waiting Steve Kerr or John Paxton.

Tex Winter spoke at my high school basketball banquet in the Spring of 1971 when he was the coach at the U. of Washington. Very engaging an funny as hell.

Favorite joke was, “When I was just a very young child, my parents abandoned me in Kansas when they took a wagon train out to the Pacific Northwest. I found ‘em.”
