1982 highlights- NIT Championship year (WMBD program complete with commercials!)- this video has lots of great memories of the 1982 team and Dick Versace, including the infamous phantom foul call in the Hawaii Rainbow Tournament when official Larry Yamashita called a non-existent foul on Bradley's Barney Mines that handed the game to San Francisco. Dick went ballistic, yanked the whistle off Yamashita's neck and threw it into the crowd (not shown). He received 2 technical fouls and was ejected (14:00 mark). But the video does have a happy ending (NIT championship highlights).

I was at the Hawaii game, Bradley vs San Francisco, and a local informed me that the refs "fixed the games" to ensure that the seeds won. It was obvious that Bradley was going to win and the refs were not going to allow that to take place. There were several other calls that went for the seeded team. The Bradley fans cheered Versace when he threw the ref's whistle in the crowd. San Francisco had a center, Wallace Bryant, that was drafted in the first round for the Chicago Bulls. They also had another player, Quintin Dailey, who also was drafted by the Bulls. The "Dons" program was shut down for a few years following reports of Dailey of sexual assault and illegal payments from an alumni. It was an interesting time.
