Timed to the release of Jerry Bruckheimer’s movie, the moving autobiography of Hall of Fame basketball coach Don Haskins and his storied team of players, the Texas Western Miners In 1966, college basketball was almost completely segregated. In the championship game for the NCAA title that year, Don Haskins, coach of the then little-known Texas Western College, did something that had never been done before in the history of college basketball. He started five black players and in the now legendary game, unseated the nationally top-ranked University of Kentucky. Broadcast on television throughout the country, the Miners’ victory became the impetus for the desegregation of all college teams in the South during the next few years. Now, for the first time, Hall of Fame coach Don Haskins tell his story. Beginning as a small-town high school basketball coach, Haskins was known for his tough coaching methods and larger-than-life personality. As a child growing up during the Dust Bowl in Oklahoma, he developed a strong set of values and discipline that he would instill in his players throughout his coaching career. With recollections from his former players, including those of the 1966 team, along with Haskins’s own Seven Principles for Success, Glory Road is the inspiring story of a living legend and one of the most respected coaches of all time. With a foreword by basketball legend Bobby Knight, and coinciding with the release of the film Glory Road , the story of Don Haskins and his championship team is sure to become a classic for sports fans and historians.

非常不错。平实但精彩。不仅是教练,周围每个队员,他们的妈妈们,助理和对手们都有魅力。体育带来的不只是更高更快更强,还有高等教育,这是撞破仇恨的希望。对NCAA(作为一个组织)和种族环境的批评不多,但是很有意思,是普通人的视角。很值得一看。
