Some of college basketball’s most prominent coaches got together last week for a forum called “Using Your Platform as a Coach During This Critical Time.” Coaches like Kentucky’s John Calipari, Houston’s Kelvin Sampson and South Carolina’s Frank Martin spoke to that.
But also much more. They each addressed how they felt when seeing the death of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer, and some shared their experiences after having their car stopped by a policeman. You’ll hear from Calipari, Sampson, Martin, Penn State’s Pat Chambers, former Oregon coach Ernie Kent and panel moderator Ron Hunter.
