“Frank The Tank” led the nation in Player Efficiency Rating (PER) that year, averaging 18.8 points and 8.2 rebounds per game, despite playing for one of the slowest-paced offenses in the entire nation.
At season’s end, Kaminsky was named the Naismith College Player of the year, and the University of Wisconsin’s Male Athlete of the Year (a praiseworthy distinction at a football-crazy school).
