Winner, William Rockhill Nelson Award John B. McLendon was the last
living protégé of basketball’s inventor, Dr. James Naismith,
and one of the “top ten basketball coaches of the century” in
Billy Packer’s opinion. McLendon’s amazing records in college
and pro basketball earned him a spot in the Basketball Hall of Fame
(the first black coach to be inducted), and his coaching philosophy
has had a huge influence on basketball coaches. Breaking Through is
also a powerful and inspirational story about segregation and a
champion’s struggle for equality in 1940s and 50s America. Black
Magic, ESPN’s Peabody Award–winning documentary about players
and coaches who attended historically black colleges and
universities, covers many of the events in McLendon’s life that
Katz writes about in his book. John McLendon was elected to the
Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2016.
