The late 1980s were a boom time for college basketball, and the
Vanderbilt Commodores were right in the middle of it. Led by Hall
of Fame Coach C.M. Newton, All-America center Will Perdue, and a
group of three-point shooters known as """"The Bomb Squad,"""" the
Commodores made their mark in the Southeastern Conference and
challenged for the conference title in 1988 and 1989. Along the
way, they played-and, often, beat-many of the game's national
powers, including Kentucky, North Carolina, Louisville, Duke, Notre
Dame, Indiana, Michigan, and Kansas. Here is the inside story of
those Commodore teams as told by Barry Goheen, the Vanderbilt guard
and """"Bomb Squad"""" member who became nationally known for his
numerous clutch shots and """"buzzer beaters"""" that lifted the
'Dores to victory. Goheen and his Commodore teammates encountered
many of the greatest players and coaches of the era--Bob Knight,
Dean Smith, Mike Krzyzewski, Danny Manning, Chris Jackson, Digger
Phelps, Denny Crum, Steve Alford, Rex Chapman, Glen Rice, and many
more. They captured thrilling wins, endured painful losses, and
achieved several firsts for the Vanderbilt basketball program. This
is a story centered in Nashville, Tennessee, particularly
Vanderbilt's venerable Memorial Gym, with stops in Hawaii and
Taipei; Chapel Hill and Durham, North Carolina; Bloomington and
South Bend, Indiana; and Lincoln, Nebraska. Even the casual
basketball fan will enjoy Buzzer Beaters and Memorial Magic.
