Hated to see John leave Iona. I believe he finished his career at Miami of Ohio. When I first started following the NBA, in the mid-forties, the leading rebounder was Harry "The Horse" Gallatin. He was a forward on the Knicks and stood 6'6. Their center was Connie Simmons, 6'8. Harry was husky and Connie was thin. The point was always that the majority of rebounds were caught below (rather than above) the rim. As players of today are much taller, that MIGHT not be true today. But it wasn't too long ago that we had a 6'10 center who couldn't rebound very well, but liked to shoot threes, which he did very well. That wasn't Jeff Ruland was it? Arguably the best rebounder in Iona history.
