I didn't know you were that young (or "young"). I was at MU during those years.
Leonard really wasn't that good. He had size, but he lacked desire. He showed in flashes, and he did enough his senior year to get drafted into the NBA on size alone. But he really, really frustrated Norm by disappearing for long stretches.
And Lee Coward was a guard, not an inside player. Maybe you were thinking of Nathan Buntin, who was a forward (and like Coward, was from Detroit)?
