Head Coach Bill Vandenburgh
A. W. Holmes
Manager of Athletics
Coach Bill Vandenburgh's Bulldogs reigned unchallenged as the finest quintet in Fresno State College
history.
Blessed with experience, height and depth, and
infused with desire, the Bulldogs more than held their
own in competition with many of the top rated cage
teams on the West Coast to compile a sparkling 19-8
collegiate record.
Returning to the California Collegiate Athletic Association after two years in the California Basketball
Association, the Bulldogs fought an uphill battle to become the first championship team at State in more than
20 years. Vandenburgh's team dropped its second
league game in overtime to defending champion San
Diego State, then, with the pressure mounting each
week, the Bulldogs won their final eight tilts to tie the
Aztecs.
Fresno and San Diego met in a post season titanic
on the neutral Los Angeles State floor to decide the
CCAA's representative in the College Division NCAA
play-offs. Behind the great play of forward Len Brown,
the Bulldogs squeezed by the sky-high Aztecs, 76-73,
in overtime, to qualify for the District Eight NCAA tournament.
