He was a good guy. Hard working and easy going. I was in school with Skull and got to know him while working out in the old weightroom in Barnhill. He was a good guy. Hard working and easy going.

Shulte had an excellent outside shot and outplayed future Celtic great Robert Parrish when Arkansas met Centenary. Nate Allen's collection of Razorback anecdotes, More Tales From Hog Heaven, has a number of entries on Shulte's wackiness, including how he would break into Barnhill through the basketball staff offices with his date to watch concerts for free, decide to jack up long jumpers while the team was running out the clock in Sutton's Five Game and try to block shots by standing under the basket (he never could grasp that it was goaltending). As one teammate noted, his "elevator didn't go all the way to the top." Allen also quotes Jimmy Counce talking about a time Shulte borrowed an 8-track tape from him to play in his '68 Impala on a date and returned it with the cartridge completely worn apart and the tape in a huge wad. When Counce asked him what happened, Shulte replied "I don't know. I guess something is wrong with it." Counce also noted that Shulte, who had no nail bed on his thumb because of a childhood accident, would rub his nail on a concrete block "like a bear scratching a post" to trim it whenever he had a shooting slump. In March 1975, Shulte made the They Said It column in Sports Illustrated for saying, when asked why he avoided a fight with an opponent: "I have developed a great respect for my teeth." He apparently did not change much after graduation. The Subiaco alumni magazine quoted Shulte commenting on a 1991 automobile accident, “I discovered that my Corvette could fly through the air but wasn’t built to land.” But as Marvin Delph noted Shulte "was one guy who would do anything for you."

PASS! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PASS!" whenever Skulman had the ball. I never saw him off the court, but of course what man wouldn't look dudely in the two-sizes-too-tight short shorts that NCAA basketball made so popular in the 70s and 80s.
