Maloy most likely will go down in Davidson basketball history as the school’s greatest player. He was named to the Look, Converse and Helms Foundation all-America teams last year and was second team according to the Associated Press … Coach Terry Holland is expecting the 6-7 senior to make everybody’s team this year … Davidson teams on which Maloy has played have recorded 67 wins and have lost only eight … The only undefeated basketball team in Davidson history came when Maloy was a freshman … Last year became the sixth player in school history to score more than 1,000 points in his varsity career … Twice has been all-Southern Conference, last year was most valuable player in the conference and was conference tournament most valuable player as a sophomore … Twice has been most valuable player in Charlotte Invitational tournament … Was voted team’s most valuable player last two years and top defender in 1968.
Coach Terry Holland says: “I think Maloy’s greatest ability is that second, third and fourth effort. That’s a habit he has developed and it is a good one. Many coaches will agree that inch-for-inch he is the best in the country.”

Unless somebody has recruiting a mongoose, this guy’s going to score many points. He’s that quick. “I can’t think of words to tell how quick he is,” Coach Lefty Driesell says. “It’s amazing.” … At 6-7, he’s the equal of many 6-9 and 6-10 players because of exceptionally long arms … Can dunk two basketballs at one time although they won’t let him do it in a game … Has great leaping ability and precise timing … Defense is superb … May be best close-to-basket player Driesell has recruited … Has been named on several pre-season all-America teams … Driesell expects him to be on several actual all-America teams by the end of the 1968-69 season … Was first team all-Southern Conference in 1968 … On all-Charlotte Invitational, all-Southern Conference tournament and all-NCAA Eastern Regional first teams … Second team member of Converse Magazine’s all-America as sophomore … Most valuable player in Southern Conference tournament and Charlotte Invitational.
Driesell on Maloy: “Probably the most exciting player ever to wear a Davidson uniform. A great leaper, great defender and has speed, quickness and tremendous hands. A bona fide all-American.”
