Lew Alcindor and Ollie Taylorâs college careers overlapped for the 1968-69 season. UH played at UCLA in 1969, and Ollie definitely won the opening tip from Big Lew to start the game. My memory is a little hazy, but I thought I remembered that Ollie won the second half tip also. Could be wrong on that. Does anyone else remember?

I donât remember, but Ollie had a 46 inch vert, so it wouldnât be surprising if it happened.

Before my time so I defer to the elders.
Google it. It clearly states Ollie out jumped Lew.

Ollie got here the year after the Big E was drafted #1. Lew was #1 the following year. So they both played the 1968-69 season. They played at Pauley Pavilion Jan. 18th 1969.

Ollie was another great Coog who will be missed.
I went with Coach Lewis and Ken Spain to San Jac when he signed with us.
Also had a gym class with him.
I saw him one time. He came to the class on an outside basketball court, showed us Fat boys how to dunk a basketball and then went off into the sunset.
Had the privilege of interviewing him several times and loved every one of them.
He was a great guy and told me a couple of recruiting stories I could not repeat lol

I am so excited to see it.
Sampson starts at about the 40 minute mark, and his story about Kingstonâs jersey retirement is around 56.

interesting notes:
- hadnot- fast, can scoreâŠdefense needs work, not a true pg
- stats of all the bigs prior to UH are meanngless⊠they were all scoring on 6â7 bigs, they were not big 12 sized bigs. says dont put unrelaisitc expectation on any of them that what leads to disappointment
- strength of the team will be depth
