Back in the day it happened a fair amount. Had a guy named Phil? who Joplin brought in from the football team to eat up space and foul guys for a few minutes a game. He’s the last I recall.

Come on.....
Phil Alexander was better than that...… He played pretty good interior defense in the paint and would scrap for the offensive rebound and put backs.
He played Defensive End on the football team. He was on football scholarship and would join the BB team after Christmas break.

Yeah Phil Alexander was a beast on the field and on the hardwood...
A really good all round athlete...
