Spot-a-Shot Basketball Board Game

Monday July 7, 2003
Bobby Knight, he of the oft-displayed foul temper, Rick Pitino, a championship-winning coach, and Denny Crum, the former head coach at Lousiville, have all played Michael Montgomery's basketball board game Spot-a-Shot. According to the Fort Wayne News Sentinel, Montgomery has sold hundreds of the handmade, wooden 10-inch by 18-inch games, and he now makes more than two dozen every day. In Spot-a-Shot, players compete to move their basketballs off of the "court" by rolling dice.

Hi Wei-Hwa,

I didn’t endorse this game at all. I simply posted a little bit of info and a (now outdated, since this item is from July 2003) link to a newspaper article.

Cheers,
Erik
