...master of such complicated tactics as the Backdoor Trap and the Swing-and-Go, plays designed to spring a Cincinnati player, all alone, under the enemy basket. He dotes on "the science of percentage basketball, " computes the mathematical odds on the success of every maneuver he orders the Bearcats to make on court. Methodical on offense, Cincinnati concentrates on ball control, passing the ball back and forth, patiently waiting for an enemy defense to make the error that will leave a Bearcat player open for a "high-percentage" shot within 15 ft. of the basket.

Explains Bonham: "In high school, the coach always put me on the weakest player we faced. He didn't want to take a chance on my fouling out; he just wanted me to shoot. It hurt me in college." Determined to improve, Bonham often staggers away from Jucker's two-hour daily practice sessions so exhausted that he collapses...
