Tyrone Grant

[paultzman]

One of my favorite players back to his Riverside Church days! Wish he was on staff to work with bigs on post moves, rebounding & playing smart. He serves his community just as well.

A great leader who played to his strengths (and knew his limitations) about as well as anyone.

Also perhaps the only STJ player coached by three different HCs: Mahoney, Fran, Jarvis.

Yeah, remember he and "Easy Ed" Brown both were recruited by Brian. Man was Ed lazy.

I was just near the beginning of being a St. John's fan during his playing days, but I don't remember him as a great leaper so much as a well-built space eater that hustled his arse off and did the dirty work--the kind of guy this roster has sorely missed under Lavin. 6'6 and undersized for the post,jacked, and limited athletically is how I recall Grant.

On an unrelated note, was at Riverside Church for the first time in my life last night. What a magnificent structure.

Leader, not leaper.

I remember Coach K noting that if Grant played, they'd have lost. Loved watching him play

Damn, I don't stand a chance in my 70s.

Yes it is quite impressive.

Teammates affectionately called him Ty Boogie. He had terrific post moves with quick feet and hands. Not fast but quick. A hard hat, lunch Pail, glue type of player you loved to have on your side.

Ran into Ty at a game in the Garden this year. Could not have been nicer. Didn't know he had his own organization, great stuff!

Was also a great guy off the court. Very funny guy!
