It’s a special episode for all of our local Nevada Wolf Pack fans. Faron Hand AKA “Meatball" is in the house! The former Big West player of the year shares his basketball story with us and some fun memories about his days playing in Reno.
Faron Hand is from Philly and played in a special era of basketball where he played against familiar names like Rasheed Wallace, Aaron Mckee, Marc Jackson and many others. He went on to play for Nevada where he was the 1996-97 Big West Player of the year and helped put the Pack on the map. He shares great stories about growing up in Philly, The Sonny Hill League, his journey to Nevada and time with the Wolf Pack, his experience overseas, coaching, the story behind earning the nickname “Meatball” and MUCH more.
This was an honor to learn from one of the Philly legends and Nevada greats. Plenty of laughs in this one with all of the Reno nostalgia and some great hoop stories. One thing is for damn sure… we need to get Faron Hand in the Reno Nevada Hall of Fame. Nevada was lucky to have him and we need to make this happen!
Thank you Faron “Meatball” Hand!
