Almostpenn's 1970-71 Men's Basketball Team Was ALMOST Penn’s 1970-71 men’s basketball team was arguably the very best the Ivy League will ever see—even if their 28-0 season did end with a baffling loss that stings even 40 years later. BY DAVE ZEITLIN PENN ATHLETICS; FACING PAGE: BOB IMMERMAN PAGE: FACING PENN ATHLETICS; 42 MAR | APR 2011 THE PENNSYLVANIA GAZETTE ome schools offered him cash, clothes, Today, that young, no-name assistant and cars.

But back in the 1960s, Spush to reel him in that then-Ohio Governor when he got in his little red Mustang, Jim Rhodes made a personal plea. drove 450 miles to Ohio and gave Wolf But when it came time to pick the college his bold recruiting pitch, Phelps had where he’d continue his basketball career, his mind on only one thing: building a middling Ivy League team into a big- Jim Wolf W’71 didn’t accept any illegal gifts or time college basketball program. And succumb to political pressure. Instead, the blue- the very first building block was Wolf, chip recruit from Parma Heights, Ohio went with maybe the best high school basketball his gut and followed a young, no-name assistant player in all of Ohio. coach to the University of Pennsylvania. “He offered me a great education,” says Wolf, “and the promise that they were going to build a nationally ranked team.” That promise came to fruition in ways neither could have ever imagined. Four years after Wolf arrived at Penn— and 40 years ago—the Quakers enjoyed perhaps the greatest season in Phila- delphia’s rich hoops history. Joining forces with future Big 5 Hall of Famers Steve Bilsky W’71, Dave Wohl C’71, David “Corky” Calhoun W’72, and Bob Morse C’72—and coached by a no- nonsense former Marine named Dick Harter Ed’53—Wolf and the rest of the 1970-71 Quakers chased down perfection, flirted with it for a tantalizingly long time, and eventually crumbled under its weight in epic fashion. But there’s more to a story than a beginning and an end. In the middle, there are tales of friendship and jump shots that pass the test of time. And looking back on it now, the members of the 1970-71 Penn men’s basketball team agree that they were bound by a single belief, one that seems unfathomable for any Ivy League team in today’s game: There was absolutely nobody better than them. Facing page: (first row) Coach Dick Harter, Jim Wolf, Jim Haney, Steve Bilsky, Dave Wohl, John Koller, Assistant Coach Ray Edelman; (second row) Trainer Bob Matthews, Keith Hansen, Corky Calhoun, Bob Morse, Phil Hankinson, Craig Littlepage, Manager Eddie Spiegel; (third row) Bill Walters, Alan Cotler, Steve Batory, Ron Billingslea. Wolf goes for the layup. THE PENNSYLVANIA GAZETTE MAR | APR 2011 43 Bilsky dribbles. The Beginnings of Greatness Wohl shoots. The season before Harter took over at Penn, the Quakers won 19 games and an Ivy League championship. But when longtime coach Jack McCloskey Ed’48 GEd’52 left following the successful 1965-66 campaign, so too did many of that team’s veteran players. The cup- board was bare, and Harter was essen- tially starting from scratch. Harter’s first two seasons in charge were rough ones as the Quakers sputtered to an 11-14 record in 1966-67 and a 9-17 mark in 1967-68. But it didn’t take long for things to get better. And in a subtle twist, one of the people to thank for the quick transforma- tion was an old baseball coach at Rider College named Tom Petroff. Between stints as an assistant coach and the head coach at Penn, Harter spent one season running the Rider basketball program—the same place where Phelps played his college ball from 1960-63. Phelps had already graduated by the time Harter came to Rider, but Petroff his Mustang. He sold the Palestra, Big 5 Penn,” Harter says, “opened the door to knew both men very well.

In that win, Bilsky, now Penn’s director of athletics, hit the game-winning shot after the Quakers held the ball and ran the clock out for the final three-and-a-half min- utes. “I set the screen and was open for the dump-off,” Wolf says, laughing. “But I was glad he took the shot.” “More than anything else,” says Bilsky, reminiscing recently in his Weightman Hall office, “that kind of began the era in the 1970s when Penn became one of the best teams in the country. [Villanova] was nationally ranked. We were a non- entity. It became one of those famous Big 5 memories, and we didn’t lose a whole lot of games over the next three years.” The Final Pieces of the Puzzle It didn’t take long for the little-known forward from a Quaker family in rural Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, to bond with the highly touted guard from a work- ing-class family outside Chicago. Both Morse (the Quaker) and Calhoun (the Chicago kid), after all, were soft-spoken guys who came to Penn for two reasons: to study and play basketball. And both turned out to be dynamos for the Quakers. “The pillars,” says Cotler, one of their class- mates. “The two corners. I can’t think of two people better suited to represent a university on and off the court.” That the two ballplayers were different only added to their appeal for Phelps, Wolf, Morse, Cotler, and Calhoun surround the basket. who vividly remembers driving out to Kennett Square with future college and competitiveness, and hard work became he fell in love with the place.

  • Remembrances and Thank Yous by Alan Cotler, W'72
    Remembrances and Thank Yous By Alan Cotler, W’72, WG’74 When I told Mrs. Spitzer, my English teacher at Flushing High in Queens, I was going to Penn her eyes welled up and she said nothing. She just smiled. There were 1,100 kids in my graduating class. I was the only one going to an Ivy. And if I had not been recruited to play basketball I may have gone to Queens College. I was a student with academic friends and an athlete with jock friends. My idols were Bill Bradley and Mickey Mantle. My teams were the Yanks, the New York football Giants, the Rangers and the Knicks, and, 47 years later, they are still my teams. My older cousin Jill was the first in my immediate and extended family to go to college (Queens). I had received virtually no guidance about college and how life was about to change for me in Philadelphia. I was on my own. I wanted to get to campus a week before everyone. I wanted the best bed in 318 Magee in the Lower Quad. Steve Bilsky, one of Penn’s starting guards at the time who later was Penn’s AD for 25 years and who helped recruit me, had that room the year before, and said it was THE best room in the Quad --- a large room on the 3rd floor, looked out on the entire quad, you could see who was coming and going from every direction, and it had lots of light. It was the control tower of the Lower Quad.

  • The Twenty Greatest Music Concerts I've Ever Seen
    THE TWENTY GREATEST MUSIC CONCERTS I'VE EVER SEEN Whew, I'm done. Let me remind everyone how this worked. I would go through my Ipod in that weird Ipod alphabetical order and when I would come upon an artist that I have seen live, I would replay that concert in my head. (BTW, since this segment started I no longer even have an ipod. All my music is on my laptop and phone now.) The number you see at the end of the concert description is the number of times I have seen that artist live. If it was multiple times, I would do my best to describe the one concert that I considered to be their best. If no number appears, it means I only saw that artist once. Mind you, I have seen many artists live that I do not have a song by on my Ipod. That artist is not represented here. So although the final number of concerts I have seen came to 828 concerts (wow, 828!), the number is actually higher. And there are "bar" bands and artists (like LeCompt and Sam Butera, for example) where I have seen them perform hundreds of sets, but I counted those as "one," although I have seen Lecompt in "concert" also. Any show you see with the four stars (****) means they came damn close to being one of the Top Twenty, but they fell just short. So here's the Twenty. Enjoy and thanks so much for all of your input. And don't sue me if I have a date wrong here and there.
