The style Gathers plays at Loyola Marymount is a lot like the playground game he played growing up. "A run in Philly would be just as hard and up-and-down as the ones here," he says. "But you don't get any picks, and you don't get any foul calls in Philly."

Besides a little recreation at the local Y, Doc, just what did you have in mind a century ago? Can you accept a team that makes you pull out a calculator to keep score, that turns a better-than-average Joe into an unstoppable scoring and rebounding machine? Let us know, please. Doc, and soon, because Loyola Marymount may reach 240 any day now. If that happens, maybe we should go back to nine men on a side.
