He was sometimes excluded, treated differently, and bullied, even though he was born in the United States. As he grew up, however, Wat discovered he had a very special talent for playing basketball. Even at just five foot seven, he was unstoppable. After leading his high school team to a state championship, Wat played for the Utah Utes and helped the team win the 1944 NCAA championship.
