in response to underthehill:

Not sure who was called Spook but UT had a guy named Hendrix who ran the baseline in the zone..could that be him...

You're right, it was Tom Hendrix, but Widseth was the first to be given the nickname "Ghost", IIRC; both were very slim and pale. Hendrix had an amazing ability to fly to the corner from under the basket and often get a hand on the shot. He rarely guessed wrong on those plays either. He was a slender 6'5" or so, but had long arms and was a great leaper.
