I see the biggest dip in his numbers didnt come until after he returned from his time in the army
from 18.2 in the 1964 – 1965 season to 13.1 in his return from 2 years of military service
Wikipedia said he still played and coached for the Army team while there, but i doubt that was the same skill leve that he was used to playing against and his game might of fell off, or maybe after coming back home he just didnt feel the same about the game, Basketball might have been the last thing on his mind after coming back from a war.
