I was living in Southern California during that time and watched every UCLA game, usually at the bar where I hung out in Playa del Rey. At that time they telecast the games on a 2 hour delay, but we still watched the entire game even though we knew the outcome. They were just such a fun and talented team to watch, and most fans got upset if they didn't win by at least 15 points.

RIP Bill. You were a joy on and off the court.

He went to Helix High in La Mesa and they were still talking about him when my son graduated from Helix in 2001. Everyone loved him.

RIP, Bill. But I am kind of expecting your color commentary to continue from the other side....
