Don Haskins, the coach who is best known for starting five black players for Texas Western in the 1966 NCAA Championship game, died today at the age of 78. In that 1966 game, Haskins famously broke color barriers by starting an all-black lineup in their championship victory over Adolph Rupp's Kentucky Wildcats.
