Don Haskins (Josh Lucas) was a high school and college basketball star who, after six years of working with high school teams, became the head coach at Texas Western University in 1962. At that time, Texas Western's basketball program was not well respected, but Haskins was determined to change that, and in 1966 Haskins assembled what he was certain was a winning team.

Despite generating a firestorm of controversy, Haskins and his players showed they could succeed where it counted -- on the court.

great basketball show
this was the beginning of afro-americans in the game of basketball and by a west Texas School which did not like blacks at all until they started to win, win, and more win, even beating ther great Kentucky Basketball team. i loved Derek Luke in as one of the basketball players. Just a wonderful move seeing how afro-american players were treated back in those early days.
