Griffin's career spanned from 1966-69 and he graduated as the school’s all-time leading scoring with 1,682 points — a mark that stood for 36 years until broken by Brad Oleson in 2005. Griffin still holds the school record for points in a single game (43 against Saint Martin’s on Feb. 3, 1968); single season average (26.0 in 1967-68); free throws made (438) and free throws attempted (575) in a career.
Griffin’s No. 44 jersey, one of many different numbers he wore as a Nanook, is the only Nanooks player jersey number (44) retired by the school. The No. 1 also is retired in honor of Dr. William Wood, a former university president for being the Nanooks’ No. 1 fan.
Griffin has been active in the Fairbanks area since graduating from UAF. He has worked as a teacher and coach at Lathrop High School for more than 30 years, where he has helped develop young Alaska students and athletes. He also served as an assistant men’s basketball coach under George Roderick from 1993-1996.
