The only thing Frank shared with us concerning his record performance (and it was pretty much tongue in cheek) he said "there wasn't a lot of defense being played by either team".
Other than Frank's great personality and solid relationship with his teammates, the one thing I remember most about his game during our tour is how frustrated he got because of the difficulty he had shooting his jump shot and free throws with the international basketball we were required to play with. The ball was configured the same size and weight as a US basketball but was physically constructed/shaped like a soccer ball. Damn thing was a challenge to dribble and difficult to get good rotation on it with a jump shot. But fortunately, we were able to adjust and ended up winning all exhibition games plus the 4 games in the World International Military Championship Tournament in Damascus. And even with his dislike of the international basketball, Frank ended up being our leading scorer with much of his points being in the paint.
