Hot Rod Hundley of West Virginia sets up a play in the second half of a game against St. John's at Madison Square Garden in New York on Feb. 16, 1956. Hundley scored 40 points in leading his teammates to an 82-75 victory. His game total gave him a sophomore-junior two-year total of 1,338 points for an NCAA record.

SALT LAKE CITY — The story of Hot Rod Hundley is so good it should be a movie — and now, three years after his death, it is.

On April 8, a fine documentary called “Hot Rod” will debut on AT&T SportsNet following the game between the Lakers and Jazz, his former teams.
