Legendary Coach Lenny Wilkens Passes at 88: The Untold Legacy Behind Basketball’s Quiet Giant
In 1960, Wilkens was not invited to try out for the Olympic team despite finishing his Providence career as an Associated Press All-America Second Team selection.
“To me, the Olympics were huge,” Wilkens wrote in his book, “Unguarded.” “I wanted to represent my country. I had taken part in the ROTC program in college. During my senior year, my basketball goal wasn’t the NBA, it was the Olympics. … I couldn’t even think about the Olympics without having a sick feeling for some thirty-two years, not until the 1992 dream team.”
