Episode 206 – Pete Newell’s Big Man Camp

Pete Newell was one of the greatest coaches of all time. In the summer of 1976, he took time to help Kermit Washington improve his low post skills. That became the start of his Big Man Camp that he ran for nearly 30 years. Every summer some of the greatest players in the NBA took time to learn from Pete Newell; players like Shaquille O’Neal, Hakeem Olajuwon, Scottie Pippen, Charles Oakley, and Chris Mullin were only some of the players that went through the camp.
