Chad Gallagher was the center's name. And I think he looked better than he might have really been. He benefitted from playing with Harstadt, who was the real star of that team.

Nice job as always. Those two really worked well together and benefited from each other. That team would have been really nice if they would have had some other good players. If we had a Harstadt/Gallagher type combination with our guards the MVC would be ours. I think Gallagher played HS ball in Rockford & Harstadt was from some small school in the Dakotas...Originally posted by Da Coach View PostComment

Chad Gallagher was from Rockford Boylan HS. He was drafted in 1991 in the 2nd round by Phoenix Suns, but never made it with them. I believe he did play a couple years in the CBA, then got a chance on a short contract with the Utah Jazz in February fo 1994. He appeared in just 2 games (2/5/94 for 1 minute & 2/6/94 for 2 minutes) for his career there. He is a co-holder for the best overall field goal percentage for a career. He was 3 of 3 for 100%. --
Bob Harstad was from Loveland, Colorado. He was the MVC Player of the Year in 1990. He was not drafted by the NBA, but I believe he played in the CBA and in Europe.
He was installed into the MVC Hall of Fame in March of 2008.--
He was drafted in the 4th round of the 1991 CBA draft (#63 overall).--
Harstad ranks #2 and Gallagher #3 on the Creighton All-Time list (Rodney Buford is 6 points ahead of Harstad at #1), and they had their success under Coach Tony Barone, Dick Versace's former top assistant. Both were named to the Top 50 list of all time MVC players--
