That was the game guard Holman Harley tried (and missed) a breakaway, bounce-dunk attempt.
Anyone 40 or older who follows Mountaineer basketball knows something about Harley’s infamous dunk try, most likely through urban legend.
Yes, it did happen.
Yes, WVU coach Gale Catlett nearly had an aneurysm when Harley tried it, and yes, The Cat brought out his hook to Harley faster than Sparky Anderson used to take out pitchers when he managed the Cincinnati Reds.
But, no, it didn’t happen late in the game, and no, it didn’t have a major impact on the Mountaineers losing the contest.
