In Words and Images, and recipient of the Hank Aaron Champion for Justice award.[1]

1978–79
Head coach Fred Schaus stepped down in 1978 and was replaced by Lee Rose. Playing with a slowed down, controlled system compared to Schaus' fast-pace style, Carroll and senior point guard Jerry Sichting led Purdue to a first place Big Ten tie with an Earvin Johnson-led Michigan State. Not receiving the favor of the two teams to advance to the NCAA Tournament, Carroll led Purdue to the NIT Finals his junior year, losing to in-state rivals, Indiana. He averaged 22.8 points a game on the season and was named First Team All-Big Ten and a Third Team All-America, while leading the Boilers to a 27–8 record.
