Here is a great find, 2 video interviews with Frank Blatcher and family members from like 3 years ago. (My dad had told me that he was a little bit of an enforcer if somebody messed with TG.) Frank BlatcherFrank was going to Temple but Paul Arizin steered him to La Salle. |

Frank BlatcherFrank was going to Temple but Paul Arizin steered him to La Salle. You are absolutely correct. In the long line of La Salle enforcers like Sutor, etc.. I had the chance to meet him a couple of times. His handshake was one of those that would break all the bones in your hand. You could tell how much respect for each other there was with those members of that team. RIP Frank |

One additional note on the videos. I believe they were done in 2016 and a Blatcher NCAA tournament record is discussed. At that time Frank Blatcher held the record for most points by a non starting player in the final four with 42. He scored 19 against Penn St. in the semis and 23 against Bradley in the Finals.
That record apparently stood for 64 years until last year when Nova non starter Donte DiVincenzo scored 15 against Kansas in the semis and 31 against Michigan in the finals for total of 46.
It is kind of a niche record but it is amazing that it stood up for 64 years.
