In the 1953-54 season, at Los Angeles State (now California State University at Los Angeles) head coach Sax Elliott decided to prove that anybody could score at will against lesser opposition, so Elliott scheduled a game against the Chapman College JV team. Los Angles State featured 6'6 John Barber, a country boy from Atlanta TX that lettered in football, basketball, and track at Los Angeles State. Not only was he tall relative to the inferior competition, but he could high jump 6 and a half feet.
"If you threw the ball anywhere near the basket I could funnel it or stuff it or whatever," he later said of his career.
Barber was stationed under the goal and the other players were told to feed him the ball every time. As a result, John Barber racked up 188 points in the game making 92 of 153 FG attempts. Sax instructed Barber to expend little effort playing defense, so he rarely ventured past the midcourt line. LA State won the game 206-82.
I think Puryear could get to 30 or 35 points against various opponents this year using that strategy.
