YouTube Gold: Doug Collins

Most Duke fans know that Chris Collins, who played at Duke in the early to mid 90s, is the son of Doug Collins, who both played and coached in the NBA but a lot of people have no idea what kind of player he was. sd

He was a bit unusual in his day because he was a 6-6 guard with very fluid skills. He was also on the 1972 Olympic team that controversially lost to the Russians in the gold medal game. If we remember correctly, he got clobbered and hit the free throws that put the US up 50-49 with seconds to spare.
