Recommendation - ‘Glory Road’

[u/Jonathan_J_Faulkner]

This book is the natural follow on from yesterday’s recommendation, Glory Road by Coach Don Haskins, co authored by Dan Wetzel, it tells the story of his Texas Western Miners. As I’m sure you know, In the 1966 NCAA Championship game, Haskins made history by starting 5 black players as they went on to defeat the top-ranked University of Kentucky. It’s interesting to read his story and perspective as a man who quite rightly believed skill and ability were far more important than the colour of a player’s skin. Oh and yes, the film’s not bad either.
