In the latest edition of Tuesday Testimonial, host , the Senior Associate Athletics Director for External Relations, sits down with USF Hall of Famer Joe Ellis.
Ellis beings the discussion by relating what it means to have his jersey be just the seventh retired in USF's history. On February 22, Ellis joined legendary players such as Bill Russell (6), K.C. Jones (4), Mike Farmer (17), Phil Smith (20), Bill Cartwright (24), and Ollie Johnson (32).
In three seasons, Ellis helped guide the Dons to an astounding 69-16 (.818) mark – the third-best winning percentage over a three-year span in USF history, bested only by teams boasting players such as Russell, Jones, and Cartwright.
