It’s a cold game out there, and this dude didn’t get to keep the sweater he grabbed. Dommanic Ingerson, a Bay Area hoop legend that balled at both McClymonds High School in the Oak (right) and finished his career at Santa Barbara High School, was recently arrested after allegedly robbing two women in downtown Oakland and then jumping into Lake Merritt. The trivest part is that Ingerson swam across the lake for about a half an hour, exiting the lake bucky-naked to a waiting group of po po, who cuffed him and took him to the crazy house for some evaluation. For those that have had the opportunity to see or play with Ingram (present company included), this isn’t too far-fetched.
The story goes that Ingerson was mashing around the Oak, where he allegedly stole one woman’s jacket and then proceeded to snatch another woman’s purse . Apparently a group of citizens on patrol spotted Ingerson committing the crimes and proceeded to chase him for a time, before Ingerson decided that his best option was to jump into the lake. The legend swam about 400 yards in total, and at some point decided to remove his clothing, possibly to improve his stroke. Sadly Ingerson was photographed in his birthday suit, which definitely adds some flavor to the story.
Ingerson was a legend across the state and at tournaments across the country for his balling exploits. Notorious for O.P.’ing (Over-Popping) his collar during games, at a level comparable to how Doug Christie shows love to his boo, Ingerson had a swag already during his high school days. Known for his hot temper, but also for his ability to get buckets at will, Ingerson a great mixture of speed and a killer instict. Ingerson had the ability to single-handedly dominate games, but some times his hot head needed cool water. During his senior season at Santa Barbara high, he led his squad to a 27-3 record and the state quarterfinals, but was suspended for the first game of the playoffs after getting ejected in the final game of the regular season.
