Thank you Bruingirl83 for remembering Don Haskins. The movie “Glory Road” was a beautiful movie about Don and his championship Miners team. I personally watched the championship game with my father in our living room in 1966. I marveled at the Miner’s athleticism over a heavily favored Kentucky team. At the end of the game, I remember my dad jumping for joy and saying, “Can you believe it! An all colored team beating an all white team!” (It was ok to say colored back then.) At that moment I hadn’t even realized or thought about that distinction and how this would change history. I was just a kid watching a great basketball game, much the same way I loved watching Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell battling each other. I will miss Don Haskins, as I miss my dad who inspired me to go to UCLA even though I grew up in a small rural town in Washington state.
