After college and a stint with the Amateur Athletic Union’s Artesia Travelers, Haskins began coaching, successfully leading some small-town high school basketball teams. He took a pay cut for a chance to be a college coach, accepting a job offer at Texas Western College (now the University of Texas at El Paso) in 1961.<ref>[http://ia.utep.edu/Default.aspx?tabid=33838 ia.utep.edu/gloryroad > The Team > Coach Don Haskins<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> |

The Miners reached the NCAA Tournament in 1963 and 1964 and played in the [[National Invitation Tournament]] (commonly called the NIT) in 1965. On numerous occasions, Haskins stated that he believed his 1964 team could have won the NCAA Tournament had All-American Jim "Bad News" Barnes not fouled out after playing only 8 minutes in a 64–60 loss to [[Kansas State Wildcats|Kansas State]] in the Tournament. |

Facing the top-ranked [[Kentucky Wildcats men's basketball|University of Kentucky]] in the championship game, Haskins made history by starting five African American players for the first time in a championship game against Kentucky’s all-white squad, coached by Adolph Rupp. The Miners took the lead midway in the first half and never relinquished it — though Kentucky closed to within a point early in the second half. The Miners finished with 72 points to Kentucky’s 65, winning the tournament and finishing the year with a 28-1 record.<ref>[http://www.baseball-statistics.com/Greats/Century/basketball-coll.htm College basketball<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> |

Later asked about his decision to start five African American players, Haskins downplayed the significance of his decision. "I really didn't think about starting five black guys.

Frank Fitzpatrick, a sportswriter for ''[[The Philadelphia Inquirer]]'' and author of a 1999 book on the championship game, ''And the Walls Came Tumbling Down: Kentucky, Texas Western and the Game That Changed American Sports'' (ISBN 978-0-80-326901-9), wrote in a 2003 piece on the team, |

A decade after the game, [[James A. Michener]] took several swipes at the team in his book ''Sports in America'', calling the game "one of the most wretched [stories] in the history of American sports" and saying that the Miners were "loose-jointed ragamuffins. Hopelessly outclassed [by Rupp's Kentucky program]."<ref name=Fitzpatrick/> Michener's criticism proved to be far from reality. |

In the historic game, Texas Western played only its seven black players. Four of the seven – Cager, Flournoy, Shed, and Worsley – earned degrees. The remaining three left college a semester or less from graduation, and went on to their respective careers—Artis as a [[Gary, Indiana]] police officer; Hill in sales, eventually rising to senior buyer for a natural gas company; and Lattin as an NBA draftee for the San Francisco Warriors, and then in business management, currently as an executive with a liquor distributor. In contrast, though it was not mentioned until decades later, four of Kentucky's five starters, including stars [[Louie Dampier]] and [[Pat Riley]], had still not earned degrees by the mid-1970s.<ref name=Fitzpatrick/> |

Although Haskins was never able to duplicate his 1966 success, he is nonetheless regarded as an important figure in basketball history. Among the players he coached at UTEP over the years were future NBA all-stars [[Nate Archibald]], [[Tim Hardaway]], and [[Antonio Davis]]. Other UTEP alums moving to the NBA included [[Marlon Maxey]] and [[Greg Foster]]. He was also a mentor for several future coaches, including [[Nolan Richardson]] and [[Tim Floyd]]. He served as an assistant coach under Hank Iba in the [[1972 Summer Olympics]] in [[Munich]]. |

''[[Glory Road (film)|Glory Road]]'', a film by [[Disney]] about the then-Texas Western 1966 championship season, was released on January 13, 2006. On November 29, 2005, the City of El Paso renamed the street between its two basketball arenas "Glory Road." Adolph Rupp, Jr., pointed out that his father had previously used the term "Glory Road" in his farewell speech to his fans and worried that his father would be villainized in the film. However Director Jim Gartner stated that Rupp Sr. would not be negatively portrayed in the film, claiming that [[Jon Voight]], who played Rupp, was careful in his role, and sought not to mischaracterize Rupp as a racist.<ref>Hunt, Darren. "Bluegrass Retort; Kentucky hopes film won't degrade coach, '66 team". ''El Paso Times'', page 4A. 28 November 2005.</ref> Nevertheless, some dramatic license was taken such as a scene depicting [[Flags of the Confederate States of America#The Confederate Flag|Confederate flags]] being waved by UK fans. In fairness though, photographs exist of a number of UK fans in the upper bleachers waving a Confederate flag.<ref name=Fitzpatrick/> |

Haskins stated his disappointment<ref>Hunt, Darren. "Film captures team's journey well; some history left out." ''El Paso Times''. page 4A. 29 November 2005.</ref> at the cutting of the movie scenes of his one-on-one games with his boyhood friend Herman Carr, who is African-American. Carr was present in El Paso as a guest for the premiere screening, November 28, 2005. These scenes would have depicted a formative influence on Haskins' game of basketball. Haskins appeared in the movie as an "extra" by playing a gas station attendant. |
|||
== Award == |
|||
''Glory Road'' was produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, and was based upon Haskins' official autobiography written with [[Dan Wetzel]], which was released by [[Hyperion Books]] in 2005. A national best seller, it was reprinted five times in its first four months of release and was selected as an "Editor's Choice" by the [[New York Times Book Review]]. |
