Cal Sports Report: Ansley Truitt, a former All-Pac-8 Conference player who remains Cal’s No. 2 all-time rebounder nearly 50 years after his career with the Golden Bears ended, died Feb. 13 due to complications from COVID-19. He was 70.
“He had an excellent touch for a big man facing the basket and he jumped out of the gym,” said his former Cal teammate, Phil Chenier, who went on to 10 seasons in the NBA. “He was a tremendous rebounder and shot blocker.”
