Synopsis

In 1971, the University of Oregon departed from routine and went three time zones east to hire a new basketball coach. Dick Harter had been abundantly successful at Ivy League Pennsylvania, assembling a team that went undefeated in the regular season of 1970-71. When he got to Oregon, expressly to challenge the dynastic UCLA Bruins, he set about turning the Ducks into the most aggressive team on the West Coast, an outfit that dove for every loose ball, contested every stray rebound, played a thunderously physical style and apologized to none of an ever-expanding legion of critics -- including sainted UCLA coach John Wooden. With each successive season in a seven-year tenure, Harter became more emboldened and Oregon became more riveting and beloved, playing to sellout crowds in a community that largely adored the Ducks' roster of nationally recruited players. Inevitably, an era of such fervor had a shelf life, and Harter moved on in 1978, leaving in his wake stories of the most controversial basketball program in the history of the Pac-12 Conference.
