Catching up with Bob Verga (aka Doug Hinds and the Rubber Chicken)
It's good to catch up with one of the "best ever." I wonder how many points he would have scored if he'd had FOUR years and a 3-POINT LINE? Great guy, accomplished tennis player/coach....Wonder if he still drives Corvettes?

Verga WAS quite a player!
Great article - and I agree the picture is a classic!
Verga would probably have made/kept all kinds of Duke scoring records with the three-point shot and freshman eligibility in effect.
And he did have one weird looking, but effective, jump shot!

Bob Verga - Why isn't his jersey retired
Verga was definitely one of the greats of Duke Bball history (and not a bad pool player). Based upon his stats, it appears his jersey should be in the rafters at Cameron. Anyone know why it isn't? If he had been healthy during the final four, there probably would be one more NCAA Championship banner for 1966 - and Texas Western would not have had the chance to make history.
