Hot Rod Hundley dies at 80: Legendary scorer, court jester, NBA broadcaster
Posted Mar 29, 2015
West Virginia basketball legend Hot Rod Hundley, who paired All-American skills with a freewheeling showmanship and later became one of the NBA’s most tenured broadcasters, died Friday at his home in Phoenix. He was 80. “West Virginia lost a dear friend today as Hot Rod Hundley has passed away. He will be dearly missed,” Mountaineers basketball coach Bob Huggins tweeted. “Rod was not only a friend of WVU, but a dear friend to our basketball program. I will miss him very much. RIP Hot Rod.”
