Thanks internetter- I just watched Columbia defeat Princeton 92-74 for the 1968 Ivy League Basketball Championship. The great Jim McMillan led the Lions in scoring with 36 points. Roger Walezek was outstanding with twenty points,and Heyward Dotson had nineteen. Columbia's 7'0" center, Dave Newmark had a big second half. The game was played at St. Johns before a capacity crowd of over 6,000.00. Princeton had two super players in John Hummer and Geoff Petrie. The two best coaches In Ivy League History were on the sidelines--Columbia's Jack Rohan and Prineton's Pete Carill. This is a must watch for Columbia Basketball Fans.

There was a story that Carill said the only times he didn't know what he was doing Rohan was on the other bench.

Jack Rohan was loved and respected by his players and everyone else who knew him. He had an extraordinary feel for the game of basketball that enabled him to see things quickly that others simply missed. Jack was a coaching prodigy whose skills became evident very early in his career when had coached the Columbia Freshman Basketball Team to great success. The story that has been handed down for years is that everyone expected Jack to be appointed as Columbia's new head basketball coach, but inasmuch as he was so young that an administrative decision was made to appoint an older more experienced coach as Columbia's head basketball coach. The person selected turned out to be a bust and Jack was finally appointed as Columbia's head coach. What followed were the glory years of Columbia Basketball in the sixties.

In 1968,when I was an editor at Prentice-Hall, I called Rohan to invite him to write a book on coaching basketball. I guess he had better things to do (such as preparing the team), but after a very pleasant conversation, he turned me down. Although I was disappointed, I could tell from that one talk why he might be a quietly compelling coach.
