His best season came during his sophomore season of 1944–45.[2] That year, Hanson set a then-national single season scoring record with 592 points,[2][3] led the Cougars to win the Pacific Coast Conference championship and was named a consensus second-team All-American.[3] He finished his college career with 1,153 points.[3]
After graduating in 1948, Hanson was selected by the Baltimore Bullets in the 1948 BAA Draft, although he never played professionally.[3] He played one season of amateur basketball for the Akron Wingfoots in the AAU Basketball League.[2] Afterward, Hanson entered the insurance business and also coached high school basketball at North Kitsap High School in Seattle, Washington.[3]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
