Wished the offense had worked when Winter coached at Long Beach State. He had some pretty good talent, including Craig Hodges and three other players who played in the NBA but in six seasons he never made the NCAA playoffs in an average basketball conference. It got so bad the PA announcer would never mention his name because he got booed so often.

There was some very good competition in their conference during those years. Long Beach wasn’t exactly an attractive place with much of a campus life.

I think Jackson was required to make Winters great. Jackson made the best out of great assets with unhelpful personalities.
