In reply to: The track team practiced whenever it wanted under Holtz posted by Moff

court in the old fieldhouse. Coming from the basketball locker room one had to step immediately into the track, cross it, to get to the basketball court.

Running runners would yell "track" to warn people who were about to step off the locker room steps and onto the track.

One assistant basketball coach, Larry Staverman, who was 6'8" and pretty well built, would always hold up his forearm, yell "basketball" and walk across the track.
