	KNICKS: Remembering Marty Glickman
		Marty Glickman wasn't the first man to do basketball on radio, but he was the first to establish the precise geometry of the court, using a language and terminology that survives more than half a century later.
		Marty knew who he was, the position he held, the hammer he carried.
		It was a shame, too, that Marty wasn't the Knicks voice when the team finally reached the top, although he did do the home games of the 1970 championship season on cable TV to an audience of several dozen Manhattan bars.

	H-Net Review: Susan Rayl on The Fastest Kid on the Block: The Marty Glickman Story
		Glickman analyzes the event, noting: 1) the potential anti-Semitic attitude of Dean Cromwell and Avery Brundage, president of both the United States Olympic Committee and the Amateur Athletic Union, 2) the effect of the experience on Sam Stollar's life, and 3) the lifelong friendship which developed between Glickman and Owens.
		Glickman's reputation as a basketball announcer spread and he became "the voice of basketball." His first big basketball tournament was the NIT in 1946.
		Glickman states his opinions and feelings about people without reserve or apology, such as his dislike for Howard Cosell and his negative opinion of early female broadcasters (he claims that Gussie Moran was "cute but sports dumb" and that using women to broadcast football games is just a publicity stunt).

		Glickman, 81, says there is absolutely no truth to the contention that the American team needed to substitute the admittedly faster Owens and Metcalfe in order to win the gold medal, which became Owens' fourth.
		Glickman is convinced that he and Stoller were pulled partly because of anti-Semitism and partly because Cromwell and Avery Brundage, president of the U.S. Olympic Committee, didn't want to offend the nazi German hosts.
		Glickman ran in a 100-meter race against the German Eric Borchmeyer, who had placed fifth in the Olympics in that event.

		Marty Glickman, who died Wednesday, was one of those quintessential New York sports figures—and he wasn't even really known for his career as a world-class athlete.
		Forceful and mellifluous, Glickman had a vivid immediacy that became a paragon for the next generation of men handling the microphone, notably Marv Albert, a fellow Syracuse alum who got his big break when, legend has it, Glickman intentionally delayed a return from vacation.
		Glickman was only 18 in 1936, and if World War II had not wiped out the 1940 Games, he would have had a strong chance at a 100-meter medal.
