Ron Sanford (born June 11, 1946) is an American former professional basketball player. The 6 ft 9 (206cm), post player was described as not intimidating but a smooth and active player who could score. After playing collegiately for New Mexico, he played a single ABA game for the Dallas Chaparrals in 1971, spending the near entirety of his career in Europe (particularly in Switzerland). ==College career== Sanford played for Wingate High in his home town of Brooklyn, New York. He next played college basketball from 1966 for New Mexico, in the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) of the NCAA University Division. In his first year as a sophomore, he had 6.6 points and 4.2 rebounds per game, as the team's fifth best scorer.〔Media guide 2014-15 , (95 )〕 As a junior, he increased his averages to 15.6 points and 9.1 rebounds,〔 as he earned Second team All-WAC honours, having helped the Lobos win the conference.〔Media guide 2014-15 , (99 )〕 However, as New Mexico's second-best scorer and rebounder (trailing only Ron Nelson in scoring),〔 he injured his knee right before the NCAA Tournament, the first ever played by New Mexico. Playing in diminished form, he had only 8 points (on 3-for-9 shooting) and 3 rebounds before fouling out, as the Lobos were bested 73-86 by Santa Clara in their own arena The Pit. He was on better form the next day during the consolation game against New Mexico State, posting 23 points (with a still-record 11 field goals made) and 8 rebounds, though it was again in a losing effort that saw the Lobos finish fourth in the regional qualifier.〔〔Media guide 2014-15 , (110 )〕 His senior season saw him post 13.4 points (behind only Greg Howard) and 8.8 rebounds per game, the latter a team-best,〔〔〔Media guide 2014-15, (63 )〕 in a team that entered the season with high expectations but finished last of the WAC.〔 He finished his New Mexico career with 942 points (11.9 per game), whilst his 582 rebounds (7.4 per game) are the seventeenth all-time best for the school as of the 2014-15 season.〔〔Media guide 2014-15 , (64 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ron Sanford」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
