Show Notes
2020 has been a crazy year, and many historians have compared it to the seminal year of 1968. A little known basketball story of this time period is the narrative of the 1968 Omaha Central High School boys basketball team, who saw its dreams of a state championship interrupted by the ugliness of racism and chaos of the presidential race of 1968. A powerful, true story of how race is everpresent in our mission of coaching basketball.
