I was just a kid but I remember Don Devoe. Also remember Doug Roth?, red haired basketball player. Maybe that was because they made the tournament? Cool post, sir.

As I recall, Doug Roth was legally blind in one eye.

However, I don't recall him having red hair.

Maybe, but don't remember that detail.
