The book explains the author's diverse experiences in playing and coaching high school basketball in small Indiana towns during the 50s, 60s, and 70s. Because of a connection he feels with the movie HOOSIERS, he compares situations in his playing and coaching career with episodes that occurred in the movie. He also shares his testimony as to how a medical difficulty which occurred six years ago to his wife has brought them closer together and closer to the Lord. If you enjoy the movie Hoosiers, comeback stories, love stories and stories of people over coming adversity, you should connect with this book.

""This anthology is important for historians of education, but... it has a larger purpose. Public schools have 'remained a faithful barometer of the major economic, political and social changes that swept across the nation.' Social historians can learn much from this well-written anthology."" -- Journal of American History .."". a fine contribution to the history of public policy studies."" -- The Public Historian School reform activists sometimes forget that schools are a product of history, that many proposed reforms were tried before -- with mixed results. That understanding of the past is critical to our understanding of current efforts to improve schools. These original studies of school reform in Indiana, from before the Civil War to the most recent efforts, offer a much-needed perspective on the reoccurring struggle to remake the public schools in a new image.

A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.

Indianapolis began its secondary system with a singular, decidedly academic high school, but ended the 1960s with multiple high schools with numerous paths to graduation. Making a Mass Institution describes how this process created both a distinct youth culture and a divided and unjust system, one that effectively sorted students geographically, economically, and racially.

This history of the black community of Indianapolis in the 20th century focuses on methods of political action -- protracted negotiations, interracial coalitions, petition, and legal challenge -- employed to secure their civil rights. These methods of "polite protest" set Indianapolis apart from many Northern cities. Richard B. Pierce looks at how the black community worked to alter the political and social culture of Indianapolis. As local leaders became concerned with the city's image, black leaders found it possible to achieve gains by working with whites inside the existing power structure, while continuing to press for further reform and advancement. Pierce describes how Indianapolis differed from its Northern cousins such as Milwaukee, Chicago, and Detroit. Here, the city's people, black and white, created their own patterns and platforms of racial relations in the public and cultural spheres.

Attucks! is true story of the all-black high school basketball team that broke the color barrier in segregated 1950s Indiana, masterfully told by National Book Award winner Phil Hoose. By winning the state high school basketball championship in 1955, ten teens from an Indianapolis school meant to be the centerpiece of racially segregated education in the state shattered the myth of their inferiority. Their brilliant coach had fashioned an unbeatable team from a group of boys born in the South and raised in poverty. Anchored by the astonishing Oscar Robertson, a future college and NBA star, the Crispus Attucks Tigers went down in history as the first state champions from Indianapolis and the first all-black team in U.S. history to win a racially open championship tournament—an integration they had forced with their on-court prowess. From native Hoosier and award-winning author Phillip Hoose comes this true story of a team up against impossible odds, making a difference when it mattered most.

We Changed the Game is a story about a city looking to grow up, a laughable basketball league trying to be taken seriously and a bunch of unsung players given a shot or a second chance to make it in pro basketball. It¿s equal parts comedy, creativity and sheer luck and only could have existed in the free-wheeling `60s. Indeed it is the Wild West in tennis shoes. The Indiana Pacers were born on a partially-used cocktail napkin for $6,000 and staggered through some challenging times but, in the end, they carried the American Basketball Association (ABA) into respectability and eventually a merger with what is known today as the National Basketball Association (NBA). Between their ABA existence from 1967 to 1976, the Pacers captured three ABA titles, but also--and only known by a select few--teetered on the brink of extinction at least three times before finally finding two Indianapolis-based real estate legends who would take a gamble and purchase this team that no one else could or would, officially securing the Pacers' future as one of the top-contending professional basketball teams in the country.Indianapolis¿ love affair with the Pacers also triggered the explosion of downtown Indy. Market Square Arena was conceived, with the vision of then Mayor Bill Hudnut, and made possible because of the Pacer¿s popularity. From that catalyst eventually came the Hoosier Dome, the Colts, Banker¿s Life Fieldhouse, major hotel chains and restaurants galore. The Pacers changed the city¿s profile ¿ Naptown was laid to rest and a vibrant, progressive state capital emerged over these past 40 years. Indianapolis was alive. Through the eyes of Richard Tinkham, the legal counsel of the Pacers from Day 1 (who also served as innovator, negotiator, deal maker and fireman), and the mercurial Netolicky, please sit back and enjoy one of the most improbable and inspirational stories in professional sports history.

Today basketball is played “above the rim” by athletes of all backgrounds and colors. But 50 years ago it was a floor-bound game, and the opportunities it offered for African-Americans were severely limited. A key turning point was 1963, when the Loyola Ramblers of Chicago took the NCAA men’s basketball title from Cincinnati, the two-time defending champions. It was one of Chicago’s most memorable sports victories, but Ramblers reveals it was also a game for the history books because of the transgressive lineups fielded by both teams. Ramblers is an entertaining, detail-rich look back at the unlikely circumstances that led to Loyola’s historic championship and the stories of two Loyola opponents: Cincinnati and Mississippi State. Michael Lenehan’s narrative masterfully intertwines these stories in dramatic fashion, culminating with the tournament’s final game, a come-from-behind overtime upset that featured two buzzer-beating shots. While on the surface this is a book about basketball, it goes deeper to illuminate how sport in America both typifies and drives change in the broader culture. The stark social realities of the times are brought vividly to life in Lenehan’s telling, illustrating the challenges faced in teams’ efforts simply to play their game against the worthiest opponents.
