Didn't realize that Collins was a local Chicago kid and recruited for Duke in the neighborhood. That's great foundation.

Doug Collins, as some of us may recall, was on the 1972 Olympic team that got completely hosed by the refs and lost to the USSR, 50-49 (I think) on a last-second shot. If I remember correctly, that was our first-ever loss in the Olympics.

I believe that was the game where the USSR was given 2 replays of the final few seconds, for complete BS reasons?

for complete BS reasons

"for complete BS reasons" = "because we hate Truth and Freedom"

don't just take MY word for it though:  http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/blog/2011/nov/16/usa-ussr-olympic-basketball-1972

I vaguely recall doing some sort of school report on that game, don't remember exactly when.  That quote about 39:57 vs. 40:03 definitely rings a bell with me.  I don't think I got it out of the Guardian article though, this being decades before this wonderful invention known as the internet.
