Description

The years 1945–1959 marked the time when basketball really become the sport of Indiana. High school basketball bound together communities around the state and interest within the sport rose to a new level. The period saw the Milan/Muncie Central game, given new fame during 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 used to be a time before the massive consolidations of the 1960s and ’70s, with more than 700 teams all for basketball tournaments. (There are some 300 now.)

Greg Guffey captures the flavor of the period and showcases some of the highest teams, players, and coaches. It is a book for all fans of Indiana basketball.
