Kezar would be great; just not safe seismically.

Cow Palace is a very strange place to have a basketball game. But there is plenty of room there for a pregame tailgate which is why I think the schools chose that venue.
Yup, I even think one of the Warriors 1974-75 Championship games was played at the Cow Palace because the Oakland Coliseum had booked the Ice Capades...lol.Ah, how soon we forget. There was a time when the Cow Palace hosted big-time college hoops and the NBA. Back in the 1950s, those great USF teams filled the Daly City barn to the smoke-covered rafters for games with key West Coast foes and the NCAA West Regionals. The NCAA Final Four was held there in 1960. Ohio State and Jerry Lucas captured that crown. During their 1975 NBA title run, the Warriors played home Finals games there. In its heyday, the Cow Palace was a prime West Coast venue. No more.
I watched plenty of Warrior games at Cow Palace (and Civic Center for that matter). Both games were played at Cow Palace (and yes due to Ice Capades).Yup, I even think one of the Warriors 1974-75 Championship games was played at the Cow Palace because the Oakland Coliseum had booked the Ice Capades...lol.
How old are you? Plenty of basketball games at Cow Palace. Who remembers when USF used to host Cable Car Classic there. NCAA tourney. Plenty of Warrior games. It will be fun for us older fans to reminisce. Hope they sell pink pop corn at concession.Cow Palace is a very strange place to have a basketball game.

One indelible Bovine Barn memory: Seattle's Elgin Baylor banking in a long jumper at the buzzer to beat USF in the 1958 NCAA West Regionals. That powerhouse USF unit was 25-2, led by Mike Farmer, Gene Brown and Fred LaCour (who some geezers regard as a West Coast version of Oscar Robertson as a prep at SI way back in the day).
I remember all that too, including the NBA Game of the Week song. Not sure who sung it. It sounded like Bobby Bloom.I watched plenty of Warrior games at Cow Palace (and Civic Center for that matter). Both games were played at Cow Palace (and yes due to Ice Capades).
Youtube 75 NBA final, Game 2. Loved the intro music. Loved the leisure suits the coaches wore. BTW who remembers during halftime they had the one on one games between stars? I also think 75 was the first year the winning team got the Larry Obrien trophy (the same looking one given out to this day). It was an odd looking trophy when introduced.
Eric White, who went on next year to be WCC freshman of the year at Pepperdine and had a great career. ..Yes, Kevin Gogan and they had another 6-8 kid (White?). That was a great team with Carlos Roa and Marty Arenas as guards.
FYI, Marty's son is on the frosh football and basketball teams at Riordan.
SI brought up 4 sophomores and a freshman to the varsity. The freshman will most likely start and at least two of the sophs must contribute early. Right now a 21st ranking looks very generous but time will tell and that's why they play. It should be a great WCAL hoop season.https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/11...tball-preview-rankings-players-to-watch-more/
Sabedra and company have Irish at #17. Ok... I'll take that. SI at #21. Appears that both teams are closer this year with SI not having Robinson and Begovich to lean on.
Other than Seismic Retrofit Issues as it specifically speaks to San Francisco Buildings as a result of the 06 & 89 Earthquakes, nothing should stop Basketball from taking place at either Kezar, The Cow Palace or The Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. More people back in the day attended the Bruce Mahoney and other major High School games, what stops the games from being played at the before-mentioned venues other than the safety issues????? As a Born and raised San Franciscan, I am very confused and shocked that games cannot be honored and played at those venues. The City needs to spend the necessary dollars and fix those venues as they are probably historical registered Landmarks by now. I’m just sayin
Quick Wildcat trivia. King Wilhite is the first SI Frosh PG on varsity since.......? Is the answer Tim Yamamura?

Ali Thomas or Joe Skiffer...
There is no pro Hall of Fame. The Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass. covers both amateur and pro basketball.
Originally I said "Pro" but I think it threw people off.He never said Pro Hall of Fame just said HALL OF FAME and yes there is a former SHC player there but to say anything further may give away the answer.
Joe Cronin, also played a little baseballTry some Irish trivia. Name the one SHC basketball player in the Hall of Fame.

CVII wins. Harry Heilmann played on the 1911 basketball team that beat SI 36-15 in their first-ever meeting. The game was played on the "Tamalpais Court" and 1500 attended. Heilmann scored 24 of those points.Along with Harry Heilman

Yes he did. I have articles and pictures that prove it. He hit a homer in 1911 against SI in the SFAL championship game. Irish won 9-6.Heilmann didn't play baseball in HS, and ended up in the HOF.
Chase Center called back two and a half weeks ago and increased the fee too 238K. Cow Palace is charging 60K. I believe last year Cal charged 40K.
