Re: [mnbuckets] Jim Brewer

Stew and Alan,

Yes Brewer was from the Chicago area but I don't know any of the
details. He was recruited by Bill Fitch, BTW, and was rumored to be
unhappy and to be considering leaving the U when Fitch left to coach in
the NBA. That is why they hired George Hanson, because he already knew
the players and vice versa.

Oops.

Also BTW, Stew your recollections of the basketbrawl cannot be correct.
Dave Winfield was NOT on the Gopher basketball team until after the
brawl. He was recruited out of the intramural league because the team
was short-handed.

Also if somebody out there has a computer, try

Results for election results. Thanks.

Marc

PS. Alan is right, Winfield was on the team from the beginning of the 1971-72 season. This is why we do historical RESEARCH, right Stew, rather than rely on...
