Don Haskins, the coach who hastened the full integration of college basketball when he started five black players for Texas Western College against an all-white University of Kentucky team and won the 1966 national NCAA championship, died Sunday. He was 78.
ESPN Classic will pay tribute to Don Haskins tonight from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. by showing highlights from the 1966 NCAA Championship game between Texas Western and Kentucky.
