THE WHITE, SHADOWED
MAD #216, July 1980

Ken Reeves (Ken Howard) is a former professional basketball player who once worked for the Chicago Bulls but now works as a coach at Carver High School in Los Angeles.
In these days of politicians swearing left and right, it's hard to believe it was once a big scandal when Jimmy Carter once said “I'll whip his ass” about Ted Kennedy.
Some of the players were Jackson (Erik Kilpatrick), Goldstein (Ken Michelman), Gomez (Ira Augustain), and Coolidge (Byron Stewart). The vice-principal was Sybil Buchanan (Joan Pringle) and the principal was Jim Willis (Ed Bernard).
”Lookit me, I'm dee-ancin'... I'm dee-ancin” was the way any comical Brooklyn character once mocked who they saw as a high-brow adult.
Some other players were “Salami” Pettrino (Timothy Van Patten), Hayward (Thomas Carter), and Thorpe (Kevin Hooks).
The last panel is a parody of Bobby Knight.
The obligatory stars' reaction to their parody.

THE NOT-SO-BRIGHT SHADOW
Cracked #170, May 1980
a: John Severin
In the later seasons, there was a player named Vitaglia (John Menghatti)
This was the era of Cracked where, if they weren't able to do a Diff'rent Strokes parody or an If Gary Coleman did [X] kind of article, they would find a way to fit him in somehow.

In the introduction to the Mad parody, the abusive coach is notorious hothead Woody Hayes, who Silverstone had lampooned as "Mad's College Football Coach of the Year" in Mad #175.
