What do you miss?

I miss the jump ball after every basket. The game lost something when the scored on team got the ball. It was like a reward for failing and giving up a score!

I miss some of the things already mentioned, but I miss 3 or 4 year players at the same school more than anything.
I miss Cawood! I like being able to watch every game on tv, but I'm glad I experienced my youth of listening to Cawood, Marty Brennaman and Joe Nuxhall.

I'm not as old as you geezers but the couple things that I think of...

1. The 50/50 crowd split games.
2. Different styles of play among teams.
3. Obviously 3-4 year players that came in and stayed with 1 team.
 
I miss being able to smoke anywhere. Restaurants, movies, planes, etc..

I couldn’t tell you how many of those brown plastic McDonald’s ashtrays I had in my first couple apartments back in the days of indoor smoking being acceptable.

I smoked for 20 years and would light up anywhere I could. I remember being able to smoke in all of the Rupp Arena concourses. Halftime smoke break was easier back in the day. Lol.

I quit 10 years ago and now being around cigarette smoke indoors gives me a scratchy throat and makes me feel like I have a cold, and the smell of stale cigarettes (ashtray smell) will gag me when I used to smoke 2 packs a day.
 
I miss guys that you could count on being at a school for four years. I miss watching guys develop. Witnessing their progress.
 
I miss the anticipation of the freshman that developed in the summer before the sophomore year starts. Who will get playing time next year with improvement and earning minutes. Not the pre negotiated amount of time like now days.
