His five-year record was 113-28. His N.C.A.A. tournament record was 11-1, the best ever. He explained his success this way:
''I wanted us to run only when we had the advantage, but to concentrate more on a half-court game, press and power the ball inside because of the makeup of our team. I firmly believe that their chances of making a 1-foot shot inside were better than those of hitting a long shot.''
(Someone who knew him) said of Jucker, ''He set the standard for coaching excellence at the University of Cincinnati.'' Jucker wanted to be remembered for something else.
''I am proud that all my players graduated,'' he said, ''that all have done well through a lot of adversity and that they are all fine men.''
