Re: Great pic of Larry Brown - Wow!!!!I wish I was around for the ABA days. If anyone wants to read a great and entertaining book get "Loose Balls" by Terry Pluto. LB is a big player in the book. It's a great read.

Re: Great pic of Larry Brown - Wow!!!!I remember talking to Bob Bedell who played for the Dallas Chapparells team. One of his teammates, can't remember the name, was in a tight contest for leading scorer. During halftime of one of the games, this guy pulled a gun on the rest of team and told them that they had better get him the ball in the second half. It was a pretty crazy league.
Re: Great pic of Larry Brown - Wow!!!!Former SMU players Charles Beasley, Denny Holman and Carol Hoosier all played for the Chaps whose games were in Moody. Great time on campus in the 60s to see a very good SMU team, the Chaps, all of those great ABA players such as Dr. J, George Gervin, Rick Barry...etc., plus the first 3 point line, red-white-blue basketball and 12" afros.
Re: Great pic of Larry Brown - Wow!!!!My favorite memory of ABA at Moody was the free admission for the second half and the ever evolving flexibility which let us in earlier.
Re: Great pic of Larry Brown - Wow!!!!
I am not sure if it were free admission and/or they did not want to pay security and let them go after the half time. I was a friend of the organist Miss Inez who also played piano at Luby's on Hillcrest. She got 2 free tickets for every game and I attended most game with her tickets.
