"Captures what basketball meant to Hoosier players and fans in the '40s and '50s... [a] nostalgic journey through a simpler time when basketball was king." -Steve Alford
The years 1945-1959 marked the time when basketball truly became the sport of Indiana. High school basketball bound together communities across the state, and interest in the sport rose to a new level. The period saw the Milan/Muncie Central game, given new fame through the movie Hoosiers. It also saw the first televised game, the start of the career of Oscar Robertson (who played for Crispus Attucks), and friendly town rivalries to build the state's biggest gymnasium. It was a time before the massive consolidations of the 1960s and '70s, with more than seven hundred teams involved in basketball tournaments. (There are some three hundred now.)
In this book, Greg Guffey captures the flavor of the period-and showcases many of the best teams, players, and coaches.
