“Our sport has lost some huge people recently. He was as big as any. A lot of people don’t realize that growing up, he was the best player in Philadelphia and never was afforded the opportunity to play because of segregation at a big-time school. I’m not knocking Bethune-Cookman … don’t take that the wrong way, but a school where you get recognition. He absolutely is one of the best coaches ever and he had to work his way through all of that before going to Temple and served as a great example. He knocked down a lot of barriers.
