I'm getting older and my memory isn't what it once was so I need some help. Back in the 1960s Coach McGuire had a transfer player come in from Duke. He started in the backcourt until the Christmas break. Over the holiday he got married and never returned to the team. When asked by reporters McGuire said, "it must have been one hell of a honeymoon."
I think the players name was Gene Bromstad or something like that. Anyone remember?
Edit: I found him. http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1499&dat=19690130&id=vgMqAAAAIBAJ&sjid=HSgEAAAAIBAJ&pg=1564,4495632
