Basketball Unforgettable Legends: A Basketball Legend Passes Away
Pete Newell, one of the United States of America basketball legends, passed away last Monday (17th of November, 2008) at the age of 93, leaving a long list of triumphs in his long life.
With Newell as coach, the United States of America won the Olympic Gold Medal at Rome, Italy, in 1960, this after already obtaining various championships at the University level with San Francisco, Michigan State and California.
The spectacular team that he lead to the Gold Medal in 1960 that won eight games out of eight had amongst its members luminaries like Oscar Robertson, Jerry West and Jerry Lucas.
After that, he became a prominent figure as director of various and important training camps where he worked and improved the fundamentals of the game with figures such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Walton, Shaquille O’Neal and Ralph Sampson.
Amongst Newell biggest fans stands the prominent and prestigious coach Bobby Knight, known for his long career with the University of Indiana, where his teams were trained under a very similar style to Newell's; of game control, offensive discipline, and tenacity on top of working very hard on defense.
