milehiiu Posted October 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 Hint. The picture was not all of IU. Other than Coach Knight.... it did include one member from IU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parakeet Jones Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 I think that is Tim Garl to the far left. I’m guessing 1984 prior to an Olympic team scrimmage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milehiiu Posted October 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 78 players tried out for the team. Perhaps the greatest amature bb team in Olympic history. With several no names... like Michael Jordan, and Patrick Ewing... among others. LOL. All hand picked by Coach Knight. While Coach Knight cut Charles Barkley from the team.

milehiiu Posted October 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 The '84 Olympic team shot a "paultry" 63 % plus from the field. In addition to Jordon, and Ewing.... there was a guy from New Castle, Indiana. Who happened to be the youngest guy on the team at that time. Anyone dare to guess who that was ?

Going to figure out how many players I can name based on that photo: Back row - Vern Fleming, Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, Steve Alford, Chris Mullin Row 5 - Joe Dumars Row 4 - AC Green Row 3 - Sam Perkins Row 2 - Michael Jordan, Patrick Ewing Row 1 - John Stockton Some other faces ring a bell but I can't quite name them.
