Your article on Coach Venables reminds me of a time many years ago when I was matched up against him in a early morning basketball game at the OU practice gym. He was around 40 and I was in my late sixties, but still playing ball. I had the ball at the free throw line and he was playing way off me. I made strong head fake as if I was going to shoot a free throw jumper and was shocked to see him flying over my head in an impressive, if futile, leap past the 3-point line. Bill Dutcher
Hi, Bill! So nice to see your comment. I appreciate you sharing this memory! It made me chuckle. Sounds like Brent was very much still the attacking linebacker in those days, even on the basketball court!
