"It was amazing to watch Joe Lapchick stage his own fabulous retirement party by winning both premier MSG college tournamnets in 1964-65--the Holiday Festival and National Invitation--to close his St. John's coaching career.
What an exit! It was an emotional thrill to be a telecaster at both tournaments and witness the thunderous ovation for Joe."

The main Caracter
Derrick catches everyone's attention
By JULIAN GARCIA
DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER
At last summer's prestigious Nike Camp in Indianapolis, only 19 of the 203 players stood 6-9 or taller. Derrick Caracter was one of the them. He was also one of only four who weighed in at over 285 pounds.
As amazing as those facts seem, consider this: At the time, Caracter had yet to step foot onto a high school court. Not because of any disciplinary or eligibility problems, but because Caracter had only just completed eighth grade.
