(drama, sport)
40 years ago, Don Haskins went on the recruiting trail to find the best talent in the land, black or white. 7 blacks and 5 whites made up the legendary 1965-66 Texas Western Miners. They were mocked and ridiculed for their showboating and flaunting of black players on the court. Yet, in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds, Haskins and his Miners came together as a team united to reach the National Championship game against powerhouse Kentucky.

Coach Haskins is dear to all of El Pasoan, if they live in the city now

40 years. It is much more than a basketball story, it's a story about
Tolerance and what hard work and discipline can be done through the
leadership and the determination of a great coach and human being.
The act was excellent, especially Josh Lucas' performance as "
Bear." His performance was in the nail. The young actors who play the
Team were pending. The first show tensions between the black and
White players in the movie does not exist according to the actual players
that team. The book "Glory Road" is a must read, because it tells
told the true story of "The Bear", Don Haskins, himself.
David Lattin also recommend the book "Slam Dunk Gloria." Producers
should have shown real-life characters, including coach Haskins,
Pat Riley, and some of the real players in early 1966 appropriations,
