Former UCLA great Walt Hazzard just passed at 69. That makes me feel old because I remember pulling hard for UCLA to beat Duke in the '64 National Title game. Duke was loaded that year with Jeff Mullins, Jay Buckley, Hack Tison, and others but the Bruins were just too good for them.
Hazzard teamed with Gail Goodrich to form a dynamic UCLA backcourt, and the Hazzard/Goodrich combo torched the Dukies. He went on to a 10 year NBA career and coached the Bruins in the mid-80s.
