Let me clarify. Pete's retirement that year with waves of national recognition and the dramatic ending to the UCLA game helped make him legendary. I actually felt good about that, which eased the disappointment of the overtime playoff loss. I would never have seen things that way 15 years earlier when we played poorly and lost badly. The year before that we beat them at the last second with only one starter left from the Final Four team. That led to an NCAA victory over Washington St. You could argue that 1980 was Weinhauer's finest coaching job by the same token.
