Great article my MU grad Charles P. Pierce and for you older guys like me will bring back great memories of how entertaining Ernie D. was - make sure to watch the video - don't think coaches nowadays would extend that much freedom. Boy, if Bad News Barnes had half a brain, he would have been something. Ernie D. actually was a good pro until he messed up his knee although he never could guard a biddy basketball player even when healthy.

Multiple MU mentions.

Hopefully, for the good of the conference, PC can catch some of that magic again. At least they seem to be headed in the right direction.

Jerry West called him, "Ernie No D."
