Dan T. Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 NBA scouts take notice. Man, 73, scores 2 points in college hoops game HARRIMAN, Tenn. – AP- Ken Mink, a 73-year-old full-time student, scored two points Monday night in Roane State Community College's 93-42 victory over King College's junior varsity. Mink entered the game with about 16 minutes left in the second half and attempted one shot in about three minutes. Seven minutes later, he went back in the game, was fouled and made two free throws. "I found myself on the free-throw line 52 years after my last college game," Mink said. "I said, 'Just relax and shoot it like you know how to all day long.' I just floated the shots in there. I'm in the books now. I can relax a little bit." Mink, of Knoxville, last played college basketball 52 years ago at Lees College in Jackson, Ky. After someone soaped the basketball coach's office, he lost his spot on the team and was expelled. Mink still says he didn't do it. Last year, after shooting baskets at a neighbor's house, he wrote to several area colleges, and Roane State coach Randy Nesbit agreed to give him a chance. Mink has practiced regularly with the team since school began in August. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081104/ap_on_fe_st/bkc_senior_citizen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickalino Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 So, 72 is young enough to score in a college basketball game, but it's considered by many to be too old to be president :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
