Hughes/Rambo: A Texas Basketball Story

Basketball. Texas. 1333 wins. Five state championships. 17 Final Fours. Naismith Hall of Fame. The legacy career of Robert Hughes and Assistant Coach Leondas Rambo If the story were only about basketball, we could stop there- it is already the stuff dreams are made of...but basketball is just the beginning of this story. This is state where politicians and parents proclaim that Texas has but two sports-football and spring football. Legends say Fort Worth is where the West began, but for those in the know, it's where Texas basketball began. Two revolutionary basketball coaches had revolutionary ideas about education, civil rights and equity...and basketball. They changed the way basketball was played, coached and taught-they demanded to be heard as they fought segregation, racism and a destructive dose of institutionalized inequities. And, they won. It's a basketball story as big as the state where it happened.
