Great article. I thought that I was pretty well versed in Hawkeye history, but I did not know Bucky O'Connor died in a car accident. I realize this happened before most of us were born, but I'd like to see Iowa do a little more to honor him somehow.
I find it hard to fathom that someone other than Jud Heathcoate or Tom Izzo has coached Michigan State. Then again the same could be said about Hayden and Kirk.
Bucky was the coach that recruited my dad. He coached him his freshman year, but of course freshmen were not eligible for varsity play in those days. Dad ended up playing for Sharm.
