UNIVERSITY PARK -- The team bus arrived late, so Larry Brown was in a hurry before his first game at Moody Coliseum.
Point guard for the New Orleans Buccaneers of the upstart ABA, Brown had played four games in four nights in four cities. So he quickly went in search of a pre-game meal before playing the Dallas Chaparrals.
"I hadn't eaten, so I ran upstairs to get a hot dog and I saw Doc Hayes," Brown said, referring to the coaching legend who had recently concluded a 20-year career with SMU that included six NCAA Tournaments.
