On March 12, 1944, NC Central played “The Secret Game” against Duke’s Medical School team, one of the first known integrated basketball games in the south. The Medical School team was widely considered to be stronger than Duke’s Southern Conference-winning varsity team, but they were no match for the Eagles, who won 88-44. NC Central’s coach on that day was a pioneer of the fast break, full-court press, and four corners offense. He would go on to become the first black coach in a professional league and the first black coach of a predominantly white university. He was inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame twice, as well as the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame. Name this coach.

POV: You’re behind home plate, September 2, 1972. The Cubs’ Milt Pappas has a 1-2 count on batter Larry Stahl with two outs in the top of the ninth, one strike away from MLB’s first perfect game since 1968. You call three consecutive balls, including a full count pitch most observers considered borderline. You go on to umpire in a record ten more no-hitters, retiring in 2007 with 111 postseason games and 5163 regular season games under your belt. Pappas never forgives you.
