Wolves Updates 3/22

Wittman downplayed how tired he must have felt
Friday after taking a red-eye flight from Southern California. Wittman
watched his son Ryan play for Cornell Thursday in the NCAA tournament.
After Cornell’s loss to Stanford, Randy Wittman had dinner with his son
and then left on a late flight that connected through Detroit. He
checked into the team hotel in Indianapolis at 8:15 Friday morning.
 
   
Center Michael Doleac’s wife, Shannon, gave birth to a son Wednesday.
His name is Taylor. Doleac did not make the trip to Indianapolis. It
was the couple’s first child.
 
 
In the NBA, the average player can jump between 28-32 inches high. On
the Minnesota Timberwolves, Randy Foye has been measured at a 38 inch
vertical leap. Vince Carter’s 43" jump is one of the best in the NBA
today. Michael Jordan flew through the sky at that same height in his
heyday. But 5-foot-7 Spud Webb got even higher, jumping at least 46
inches, nearly four feet in the air.
