Steven Leonard "Steve" Hayes (born August 2, 1955) is a retired American basketball player and coach. He played for several years for a variety of teams in the National Basketball Association, as well as in the Continental Basketball Association and in Europe. He is also known for his standout college career at Idaho State University, where he is recognized as one of the best players in the school's history. ==College career== Hayes, a 7'0" center born in American Falls, Idaho, attended Aberdeen High School in Aberdeen, Idaho. He then went to nearby Idaho State. As a freshman, Hayes averaged 9.8 points and 6.8 rebounds per game and was a valuable contributor to a Bengals team that went 20-8, won a share of the Big Sky Conference title, and earned a berth in the 1974 NCAA Tournament. As a sophomore, he developed into one of the top players in the conference, averaging 20.4 points and 13.3 rebounds. Hayes led the Big Sky in scoring and rebounding and earned first team All-Conference honors. In his junior season, Hayes again earned first team All-Conference accolades, averaging 19.7 points and 10.6 rebounds per game (leading the conference in both statistical categories). The Bengals again tied for the conference regular-season title, but did not play in the postseason. The 1976–77 season would be a special one for Hayes and the Bengals. Hayes again averaged a double-double at 20.2 points and 11.1 rebounds per game. He was named first team All-Big Sky for the third consecutive year, becoming only the third player in league history to do so.〔 Idaho State went 13-1 in league play to win the regular season championship and captured their first Big Sky Tournament title to clinch a berth in the 1977 Tournament. Once there, the Bengals made the most of their opportunity. After a win over Long Beach State in the first round, Idaho State faced national power UCLA in the Sweet Sixteen. The Bruins were going for their eleventh consecutive Final Four appearance - an NCAA record. Hayes scored 27 points and recorded 12 rebounds as the Bengals upset UCLA 76-75 as Hayes was named to the All-Regional team. At the close of his career, Hayes finished second in school history in scoring (1,933 points) and first in rebounding (1,147) and blocked shots (207). He also holds the Big Sky Conference records for total rebounds in a career, career blocked shots per game (3.51) and blocked shots in a game (10 in 1976).〔 He was inducted into the Idaho State athletic Hall of Fame in 1988. 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「Steve Hayes (basketball)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
