Don Haskins is well known by the movie, Glory Road; he was the one who broke down the color barrier in men's college basketball when he was a coach at Texas Western (now UTEP).

RIP, Don.

Very sad. He had visions of fair play waaaaay before his time. May God bless and comfort his family, his friends and all those who knew him.

I am glad the movie was created, so people like myself can understand what sort of sacrifices he made.
