Olson’s best team might have been in his first year, the 1973-74 Long Beach State 49ers. Five players were drafted by the NBA in the first two rounds of the draft.
The team went 24-2 and lost the two games by 5 points. But the team was on probation because of Jerry Tarkanian had done in the previous years so there was no post season play. Olson left for Iowa at the end of the season.
