Podcast with Jeff Cook on His Whole Career

[LamarMatic]

How are you doing, Bengals fans?

I had former Idaho State forward Jeff Cook on my podcast and naturally we spent a decent amount of time talking about the 1976-77 season and his success with the Bengals. The whole conversation lasts almost an hour as we got into his whole basketball career.

Felt like some of you might be interested in this and I hope you guys are alright with me coming here and doing some self-promotion. If it's against the rules of your board, then I apologize and I won't do so again. I'm just looking for a way or place to reach Idaho State fans.

Thanks Jeff probably had the longest, most productive NBA career of the guys from that team. I enjoyed visiting with him when he was back for the 40th anniversary. Hard to believe how quickly time goes by.

Yeah, he played four times as many minutes in the NBA as Steve Hayes did, who was the only other player to have any sort of a prolonged career. I wonder what's the reason for that since Jeff himself admitted that some of the other guys were more important players for the Bengals. I guess that it might have something to do with the fact that he just knew his role everywhere he went.

Or, perhaps, that's just the way it happens with the pro game sometimes. There isn't always a direct correlation between success in college and the NBA.

Cool to hear that you enjoyed that 40th anniversary.

That's great to hear. I can also only say the best things about Jeff from my experience of interviewing him.

Thanks for the comment!
