Foal! The Connie Hawkins Story
David Wolf
Rarely do sports books surprise the reader by catching him
off guard. But Foul! The Connie Hawkins Story, by David Wolf
does just that.
At first glance, you expect glittering prose about a multi
talented basketball pa Iyer, a heading which Connie Hawkins
comes under. But how he got there is the crux of the story, a tale
which would numb any reader.
“Foul!” is interesting and thought-provoking reading. It is
the eye-opening account of a young Black, semi-literate and out
of the New York ghetto, being screwed by the system through
ignorance.
With a plethora of “jock” books an the second-grade in
telligence level, “Foul!” is easily the best of the lot. Many
people have heard of Connie Hawkins. He was aigrwt by the
Phoenix Suns of the NBA some four years ago, after languishing
in the mire of the rival ABA. Hawkins was involved in a betting
scandal in 1961, a charge never proved which nonetheless kept
him out of NBA pro ball.
amply, Hawkins was picked up in 1961 by the Grand Jury as
an eighteen-year-old freshman at Iowa State, for accepting a
$200 loan, which he later repayed, from Jack Molinas, a known
“fixer.” Molinas later signed an affadavit that be never ap
proached Hawkins on the subject of fixing games.
Hawkins was kicked out of school, and was banned for life
from playing in the NBA—the only pro league at that time.
Thus the stage is set. At this juncture Wolf goes into precise
detail. He tells of the endless meetings with David Litman
owner of the Pittsburgh Condors, the ABA team Hawkins was
playing with from 1967-69. Litman, a lawyer, became good
Maids with Hawkins, and when the subject of the scandal came
up, the truth slowly oozed out.
Litman immediately began formulating a case against the
NBA. In the summer of 1969, Hawkins was vindicated with a
million-dollar out-of-court settlement, and a contract with the
Phoenix Suns when top-level management of the NBA realized
they had an open-and-shut case before them.
But it is not the simple cut-and-dry storyline that makes
“Foul!” the excellent book that it is. Though in real life Wolf
and Hawkins are good friends and they collaborated on the book,
one would never realize it in thumbing through the pages. Wolf
never editorializes, and does not present Hawkins on an altar.
That’s one reason this book is so refreshing. Wolf presents both
sides of the story, and doesn’t whitewash any of the rash events
in Hawkins’ life. He refers to Connie’s drug problems, but also
tells of the endless basketball clinics given by him in the ghetto.
Wolf writes in clear, concise prose, using many quotes and
looking into all sides of the question. The idea for the book came
from a “Life” article in 1969 which dealt with the Hawkins
“scandal” in a more condensed form. The “Life” feature was
instrumental in getting Connie into the NBA, as the wire ser
vices played it up. Noting the success he attained, Wolf decided
to extrapolate the article into 500 pages—no mean feat.
To his credit, the book never lags. Not even during
Hawkins’ Globetrotter stint, where endless nights in the back
seat erf a station-wagon, one-night stands and “tomming it up”
for White audiences were the norm.
The pace used by Wolf is intense. He never lets up on the
reader, taking you right behind the scenes. His is not the
second-hand approach which characterizes so much of sport
writing. It is simply good writing
The central character of the book, though, is still Connie
Hawkins. He was lucky enough to make it out of the ghetto, and
we are lucky enough to read the full story — as put together by
Wolf. ^
