On August 16, 1987, Vanos boarded Northwest Airlines Flight 255 for a trip to Phoenix, Arizona.
Strangely, Vanos' jersey and number were not retired by the Phoenix Suns after his death.

Date: Mon, 02 Feb 2004 08:47:33 -0800 From: Jim Subject: "Vanos dip" is what I call it "If you look at the posted dyno run, there's a dip around 5700rpm" If you do a dyno run with vanos always on, and another at vanos always off, the graphs will cross right about 5600 rpm.
We call this the vanos dip, and shows that vanos is a good thing.

 Dick Davey -- a builder of MEN -- Santa Clara U. BRONCO Hoops (and other sports) Forum
DD describes the program as a "teaching" program, where player's skill and understanding of the game develop more than with other teams.
This is borne out in the improvement in players like the fore-mentioned Vanos as well as Howell, Lopes, Graves and Holmes.The ability to develop players is a great skill to have and a necessary one for most mid majors.
That having been said, it would be nice to have a relatively well packaged impact 'big' commit to SCU.Borchart,had he been healthy, might have been; Denison, after a possible red shirt year, might be.

The scandal did provide an opening for then-general manager Jerry Colangelo to lead a group that bought the team for a $44 million, a record at that time.
With a drug scandal and the loss of promising young center Nick Vanos, who was killed in the crash of Northwest Airlines Flight 255, the franchise was in turmoil on and off the court.
The Suns' luck began to turn around in 1987, however, with the acquisition from the Cleveland Cavaliers of Kevin Johnson, Mark West, and Tyrone Corbin for popular power forward Larry Nance.

Cembellin has been with the school since 1977 and in the early 80's was sick and tired of not being able to take 2 games up north.
He challenged the group led by Harold Keeling, Dan Larson, Nick Vanos and Scott Lamson to win both games and they could go pyro with his coat.
As juniors, it was just the team that went up in flames, losing both games.

7'1" Nick Vanos of Santa Clara fouled Bryce McPhee as Bryce drove to the basket for two.
As Bryce took his place at the free-throw line, Vanos looked at him and commented, "That was the sweetest move I've ever seen." It was a reverse layup.
When younger brother (and future Zag) Jim McPhee was home in Tacoma listening to Dick Wright call the GU games, Jim recalls Dick declaring over the radio waves, "I think Bryce McPhee could score on God!"

As Bryce went to complete the 3-point play, Vanos shook his head, looked at Bryce and told him, “That was the sweetest move I’ve ever seen in my life.” Little brother thought that was pretty darn cool.
