I’m watching it because I’m reading the book for English
I was an LDS missionary in El Paso and when I was a kid, BYU and Utah were in the WAC with Texas-El Paso so I know all about the magnificence of the Bear :)
Great man and coach!
We were so lucky to have him....he stayed......He only left once......RIP Coach Haskins......Vaya con Dios....until we meet again
The sport owes so much to Dan Haskins, and never gets enough credit

I am very proud to experience having 1 drink with the bear. I asked the bartender to send him a drink. Bartender came back and told me. Don will accept it if u join him for a drink. I was in awe!! I didn't want to bother him too much so we had a quick drink, shook his hand and thanked him for being so humble..
The Bear, the Coach.
this is awesome .. his book is astounding
Thank you, Coach Haskins.
Bravo sir Haskins....bravo.....!!!,always support what you already do, aspecially about a change and destinguish for the racism with the black on sports

I love his speech."Home folks." You can put your feet up and let your hair down.
The Bear is the man. They dont make em like him anymore.
They was the best
I worked with Harry Flourney for many years. We were both route salesmen for Oroweat Bread Co. in El Segundo CA. When Harry first came to work with us I thought he was a very nice guy. We even had beers together a half dozen times. After Harry got on as a permanent employee it became more and more apparent to me that Harry didn't like white people a whole lot. Me being white big and tall I think brought some hate out of Harry. Oh well, that's on him. I never did one thing disrespectful to him or any black I worked within the thirty years I worked there. I'm very sorry to hear he died he passed away. God Bless Harry Flournoy, I hope he is in heaven!!!
* I should clarify. I was a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in El Paso but I still know of the magnificence of the Bear. When I was first a missionary in El Paso in October 2001, The Bear was still alive. I wish I could have at least seen him. Incidentally, I also served in Tucson when Lute Olson was still alive so I was in the midst of Lute and the Bear. What a lucky guy I was :)
Could have gone anywhere, but remained loyal to UTEP. Just don't find them anymore.
I see an early sign of Dementia
Thank You Coach HasKins U Are A Great Coach Who Coach A Look Of Good Players, And U Beat Pat Rileys Kentucky WildCats And Won Yourself A 1966 National Championship
New Mexico loves Don Haskins. Such a great coach and so humble. Loved how he always downplayed the Miners chances before any game and won most.
Met the man many times. True legend. Hell of a guy
