About Kermit Washington
Kermit Alan Washington is an American former professional basketball player. Washington is best remembered for punching opposing player Rudy Tomjanovich during an on-court fight in 1977.
Washington was not a highly coveted player coming out of high school. He averaged four points per game during his senior season at Coolidge Senior High School.
