I miss Robert "Rob" Lock

[jrollins24]

If we had him on the bench for next season he would easily pilot us to #9.
Who would have ever dreamed he would eventually own Waldo Wright's Flying Service giving open cockpit rides to visitors in restored vintage biplanes. Here's to you Robert Lock! Fly High and spread your wings!

I love lamp.

Hope he misses less runways then he did layups

 

[jrmeier54]

It's sort of fitting, I remember Rob's first year, he made Dick Vital's all airport team. (Meaning he looked good at the airport but never saw PT) However I thought he was very solid his Senior year.

Lock went from horrible to solid but came in here with some hype.

In the 1986 infamous “Little Brother “ game when UK stomped uavel by 34 points Lock
Drove the baseline and power dunked the last
2 baskets on Felton Spencer.Eddie Sutton
Bout lost his mind

 

[Deli owl]

Yeah Cal would have never recruited or played him.

 

[Willy4UK]

Whew, read this thread title and thought he'd passed on

Yeah that’s not him. Here’s a recent photo.

 

[Glenn's take]

Used to be married to the all time leading scorer in UK basketball history.

Why did you get divorced, glen?

 

[AzubuikeandFitch]

UK shoulda put floor cleaner on his jersey because he was always on the ground. I was a yougin then and he still infuriated me.

 

[Glenn's take]

Why did you get divorced, glen?

Art Still threatened to kick my ass.

 

[saxonburgcat]

Rob Lock and Billy Graham were the only two people I knew who could cause an entire arena of people to stand up and scream, "Oh my God!"

 

[kev69]

Rob Lock is the most underrated college center in the history of basketball.

 

[Big Foot 275]

Didnt he have a good game against Pervis Ellison at Freedom Hall when Rex had the big game?

 

[Caveman Catfan]

He dated the little twirler who later was on the news.

 

[wildcat_bigd]

Now I see it

 

[BankerCat12]

Lock was the Anthony Davis before Anthony Davis.

Lock had many great finishes (mostly, if not all, dunks) AFTER the whistle had been blown. He was really good at that.

He became a multi-millionaire playing overseas I believe.

No it was Felton Spencer he dunked on Pervis was banished to the pine by then

 

[Stevo1951]

He married Valerie Still

Thank you for posting that...I checked Rob out on his website and found it to be very interesting. Thanks again.

 

[treyforuk]

I thought he and Val had a son we were following?

Yes

 

[Cawood86]

My dad always said he could walk, charge and double dribble all at once....... Don't think I remember a player that caught more grief than him. I liked him though.

 

[anon_q409idbs5m40a]

Although recruited by Coach Hall, Lock was a typical Eddie Sutton type center by his Senior season. Not a great scorer but took up a lot of space underneath and rebounded the ball well. He improved quite a bit from his freshman season when he simply looked lost.

 

[armchairpg]

Yes. Rob lock is the key.

 

[blue woman]

As a senior, Rob was a pretty good college center for UK;
56%fg--75%ft--10.9ppg--6.5rpb--1blk/g--1A/g---26min/g

Improved dramatically from his frosh season.

I love lamp.

His being born at a different time cost us 4 championships.

 

[blue woman]

Here are Bam's similar stats his 1 season at UK;
60%fg--65%ft--13ppg--8rpg--1.5bpg--1A/g---30min/g

Sadly, we don't get to see the growth of modern day college players. Imagine Bam as a senior!!

To this day i can't believe he was tapping that! MG wow.

 

[Chuckinden]

He was better than the center we have now.
