A big for basketball doogs is the equivalent of an offensive lineman for a football doog. I remember so many times reading one doog after another explaining that it's not Romar's (Sark's) fault we didn't have a decent player over 6-6 (offensive linemen) because on the west coast there aren't many quality bigs (OL) and we can't expect to compete with UCLA and (insert school here) (USC, Oregon, a ranked Oregon State) for players like that. Yet year after year I watched a bunch of teams like St Mary's (Boise State) develop quality big men (OL) who nobody wanted. Yet we are stuck with guys like Breunig, Diercksxzz, Wolfinger (Tufunga, Hindy, Schaefer, Preach). Rinse, lather, repeat.
