Over the course of two years at North Carolina State University, David Thompson led the Wolfpack to a 57-1 record and a national championship during the 1974 season.

He began coaching college basketball for Indiana State after serving in World War II which led to a posi...
Well, it would seem strange if we made a list of the great Christian basketball players and coaches but left off the game’s inventor. Born in Canada a few years before the Civil War, the physical educator, chaplain, and coach immigrated to the United States in the late 19th century and soon after invented the game of basketball. In an ironic twist,...
