Legendary coach Don Haskins died earlier today.

Haskins, a Hall of Famer who coached at Texas Western and UTEP, was best remembered for the 1966 NCAA championship team in which he started five black players against Adolph Rupp's all-white Kentucky squad. The team went 28-1 and knocked off the Wildcats, 72-65.

Haskins, 78, won 719 career games and was enshrined in 1997 in the Hall of Fame. He had been ill recently and was still living in El Paso.
