10-31-2023 Passed Ball Show. John spends this program talking about the New York football Giants and how they could possibly put themselves in a position to have a quarterback playing in the NFL that they could not trust to throw a forward pass. John blames the team's loss on Tommy DiVito and the fact that he was not capable of performing the duties of a NFL quarterback. John wonders out loud why Collin Kaepernick was not in the game, knowing very well that he was blackballed by collusion of the 32 NFL owners. John then talks about Buck Showalter and why even though he would love to see him manage in the major leagues again, it would be better if he did not get the Los Angeles Angels manager job. During today's #savingsportshistory segment, John talks about the significance of Earl Lloyd, some past Cy Young Award winners, Venus Williams, Pete Henry, Cal Hubbard, Wilbur Shaw, Nick Saban, Fred McGriff, George Halas, Willie McCovey, and John McVay.

“There's a basic insecurity with Black guys my size,” Scott writes. “We can't hide and everybody turns to stare when we walk down the street. … Whites believe that their culture is superior to African-American culture. ... We don't accept many of [their] answers, but we have to live with them.” Ray Scott was part of the early wave of Black NBA players like Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, and later Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who literally changed how the game of professional basketball is played—leading to the tremendously popular financial blockbuster the NBA is today. Scott was a celebrated 6'9” forward/center after being chosen by the Detroit Pistons as the #4 pick of the 1961 NBA draft, and then again after he was named head coach of the Pistons in October 1972, winning Coach of the Year in the spring of 1974—the first black man ever to capture that honor. Scott's is a story of quiet persistence, hard work, and, most of all, respect. He credits the mentorship of NBA player and coach Earl Lloyd, and talks about fellow Philly native Wilt Chamberlain and friends Muhammad Ali and Aretha Franklin, among many others. Ray has lived through one of the most turbulent times in our nation's history, especially the time of assassinations of so many Black leaders at the end of the 1960s. Through it all, his voice remains quiet and measured, transcending all the sorrows with his steadiness and positive attitude. The NBA in Black and White: The Memoir of a Trailblazing NBA Player and Coach (Seven Stories Press, 2022) is his story, told in collaboration with the great basketball writer, former college player and CBA coach Charley Rosen.

This interview is so much more than a discussion about leadership. It's a reflection on the incredible progress that has been made in the United States and the work that still needs to be done. Born in South Philadelphia, former professional basketball player and coach Ray Scott discusses a formative trip he took as a 12-year-old boy to the segregated South in 1950. He talks about the bravery amid intimidation and death threats of the first African American players in the National Basketball Association. He shares what he learned from pioneering leaders he was fortunate to meet and get to know like Muhammad Ali, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, Aretha Franklin, and his mentor and coach Earl Lloyd. Additionally, Coach Scott talks about his role as a leader during his playing and coaching career in professional basketball. Ray discusses the importance of forming habits, being a pioneer, establishing the right mindset in very difficult circumstances. mentorship, determining individual readiness to lead other people, building a self-reliant team, and coaching former players.In 1961, Ray Scott was drafted by the Detroit Pistons with the #4 overall pick in the National Basketball Association Draft. His professional playing career spanned 11 years with the Pistons, Baltimore Bullets, and Virginia Squires. He became an assistant coach and eventually the head coach of the Detroit Pistons during the early 1970s. In 1974, Ray became the first African American Coach of the Year. He went on to become the head men's basketball coach at Eastern Michigan University and then had a long, successful career in business. Ray is the author of The NBA in Black and White: The Memoir of a Trailblazing NBA Player and Coach.

ABOUT RAY SCOTT AND THE NBA IN BLACK AND WHITEA memoir of hard lessons learned in the racially segregated and sometimes outright racist NBA of the early '60s by celebrated NBA player and first Black Coach of the Year, Ray Scott.Ray Scott was part of the early wave of Black NBA players like Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain who literally changed how the game of professional basketball is played, leading to the tremendously popular financial blockbuster the NBA is today. Scott was a successful 6'9" forward/center after being chosen by the Detroit Pistons as the #4 pick of the 1961 NBA draft, and then again after he was named head coach of the Pistons in 1972, winning Coach of the Year in the spring of 1974-the first Black man ever to capture that honor.Scott's is a story of quiet persistence, hard work, and, most of all, respect. He credits the mentorship of NBA player and coach Earl Lloyd and talks about fellow Philly native Wilt Chamberlain and friends Muhammad Ali and Aretha Franklin, among many others. Scott has lived through one of the most turbulent times in our nation's history, especially the time of assassinations of so many Black leaders at the end of the 1960s. Through it all, his voice has remained quiet and measured, transcending all the sorrows with steadiness. This is his story, told in collaboration with well-known basketball writer, former college player, and CBA coach Charley Rosen. Racism in the world of sports is still all over the news-from Brian Flores's racial discrimination lawsuit against the NFL, to Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva being allowed to compete in the Olympics while African-American runner Sha'Carri Richardson was banned, to the prolonged detainment of Black WNBA star Brittney Griner in Russia. And while we still have much work to do to make equality a reality, The NBA in Black and White answers the question "How did we go from there being only white players in the NBA to the highest paid athletes in the NBA being Black?" and reminds us of the progress we've made toward equal opportunity and fair compensation for people of color.Philly native John Raymond "Ray" Scott's college career began at the University of Portland. After three seasons in the professional Eastern Basketball League, he was chosen as the 4th pick in the 1961 NBA draft by the Detroit Pistons. He spent six years with the Pistons as a stand-out rebounder and deadly shooter from the perimeter, and another five years playing for the Baltimore Bullets and the Virginia Squires. Then, in October 1972, Scott was promoted from Assistant to Head Coach of the Detroit Pistons, thanks in part to strong support from former coach Earl Lloyd who, a decade earlier, had scouted Scott and recommended that he be the Pistons top pick. Two years later he was named NBA Coach of the Year, the first African-American to win the coveted award. From 1976 to 1979, Scott was Men's Basketball Head Coach at Eastern Michigan University. Today, he lives with his family in Eastern Michigan, not far from Detroit. This is his first book. ADVANCE PRAISE FOR THE NBA IN BLACK AND WHITE"Scott, who became the first Black coach to be named NBA Coach of the Year in 1974, delivers a moving reflection on his influential career.Fans of the sport will relish Scott's insights, including how the game's been changed by the emphasis on three-point shooting.A valuable addition to hoops history." - Publishers Weekly"This is a truly wonderful book that reveals the difficulties of the quota system and all the other obstacles that African American NBA players had to face when the league began to integrate in the mid-1950s and beyond. It also tells how Ray and many other great Black players managed to achieve the fulfillment of their respective talents. Indeed, Ray was the rare successful NBA player who became a successful NBA coach. Along the way, the plight of 'ordinary' Black citizens who succeeded and/or tragically failed in facing their own racial barriers is addressed. Above all, Ray's honesty, intelligence, and deep understanding of how social injustice influences every aspect of all our collective and individual lives, makes this narrative totally relevant today. There's enough wisdom in here to enlighten and inspire even people who have little or no interest in basketball. Incredibly powerful-a must read." - Hubie Brown, NBA Coach of the Year (1978, 2004), member of the Basketball Hall of Fame"Ray Scott has chronicled his four-decades-long basketball odyssey beautifully. It is a thoughtful and well-written book about the transforming landscape of the NBA. He shares his firsthand knowledge and experiences and adds value to an era not so often discussed. I have been blessed to have known Ray, and blessed even more to have someone who trudged through the early days of the NBA take me along with him for the journey."- Marques Johnson, twelve-year NBA player, five-time All Star"I first met Ray Scott in 1965 when I was a rookie player for the Detroit Pistons. I was scared to death of the challenges I faced trying to make it in the NBA, but Ray welcomed me to the team. As one of the veterans, he organized all the players to work out and prepare for camp together. It meant the world to me, and I have never forgotten how he treated me. Ray's book brought back so many good memories from my NBA days. He was and is a leader and a wonderful example of how we should all respect, get along, and love each other. Ray is a good man."- Tom Van Arsdale, 12-year NBA player, three-time All StarGet the book here:https://www.amazon.com/NBA-Black-White-Memoir-Trailblazing/dp/164421198X

Lions and killer whales have shown to be easier to train than the tongue. We talk about James' advice to choose words wisely when choosing to speak--or text, tweet or post--and perhaps be ready to ask if it's wise to do so at all. March 8, 2022 Bill Cox, Robert Cocheu, Michael Cropper, Earl Lloyd

On 580 Live from the Par Mar Stores Studio, West Virginia State basketball coach Bryan Poore is here to discuss the legend of Earl Lloyd. It's a great story whether you're a sports fan or not, especially during Black History Month. 580 Live is presented by Thornhill Auto Group.

In the first of two podcasts on Samson, we look at why it's so difficult to fit this Herculean figure into a Sunday school box. He seems to serve God more through his flaws and disobedience then through faithful purpose. Is he a hero, an anti-hero, or just a spoiled brat intimidating enough to get his own way? Are we too rough on the big guy? Listen, comment and share! January 11, 2022 Bill Cox. Steve Titch. Robert Cocheu. Michael Cropper, Earl Lloyd

Is it really the case that we either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain? In a spirited discussion, we look at the questionable decisions Gideon makes after his resounding victory over the Midianites. Does he mirror other great men who are overcome by their faults? We debate the motivations Gideon may have had for making an idol of a gold ephod. Was it pride, insecurity, fear or any combination? Is a man's character most vulnerable at the moment of his greatest achievement? December 7, 2021 Bill Cox, Steve Titch, Robert Cocheu, Mike Cropper, Earl Lloyd

As Gideon pursues the invading Midianites back across the Jordan, we look at leadership decisions he makes. We admire his diplomacy with in getting the tribe of Ephraim to join the fight, but debate his post-victory execution of all the men of Penial, which along with Sukkoth, refused to provide food for his army when it was on the march. Was it a necessary demonstration of support for the men under his command, or the act of an heroic general-turned-petty tyrant? November 30, 2021 Bill Cox, Steve Titch, Robert Cocheu, Mike Cropper, Earl Lloyd

Gideon's call to Israel brings 32,000 men, but God has other plans, and has Gideon winnow his army down to 300, which he marches into battle armed only with trumpets, jars and torches. This story kicks off a discussion in the Christian disciple of simplicity--divesting the accumulated clutter that offers the illusion of security in your life and placing absolute trust in God. No one said this was easy, and even Gideon looked for repeated assurance. Join us for as we explore this curious and, yes, humorous tale. November 23, 2021 Bill Cox, Steve Titch, Robert Cocheu, Mike Cropper, Earl Lloyd

The NBA's color barrier was broken in 1950 by three players simultaneously: Chuck Cooper, Nat Clifton, and Earl Lloyd. Each had a hand in its downfall, as one was drafted first, one signed first, and one played first.

Dans la Chronique de Motor City du jour, nous parlons de Ray Scott, joueur de l'ombre des Detroit Pistons de 1961 à 1967, devenu coach de la franchise de 1972 à 1976 et resté dans les livres d'histoire comme le premier Afro-Américain à remporter le titre de Coach of The Year , entraîneur de l'année donc, en 1974 ! Cette Chronique pourrait être considérée comme la suite de l'épisode 33 où nous parlions de Earl Lloyd, qui devenait en Octobre 1950 le premier joueur noir à avoir poser le pied en NBA et devenu plus tard coach des Pistons. Ces deux personnages sont deux figures pionnières de la NBA, deux joueurs de l'ombre peu connus des suiveurs de la NBA aujourd'hui mais Ray Scott comme Earl Lloyd avant lui est un homme qui a fait l'histoire de la NBA. Dans ce podcast, on parlera de la carrière de Ray Scott joueur et évidemment de son expérience de coach où nous établirons certains liens avec Earl Lloyd qui finira par devenir son mentor. Parler des années 1970 dans la Motor City reviendra à parler de l'instabilité des Pistons à cette époque-là au point que la saison 1974 où Ray Scott gagnera le titre de coach de l'année sera une vraie anomalie. Ce record de 52 victoires tiendra pourtant jusqu'à la saison 1987 quand Chuck Daly et les Bad Boys réussiront à faire mieux. Nous finirons ce podcast par faire un point sur la situation des coachs noirs en NBA, malheureusement toujours sous-représentés en nombre et encore plus parmi les lauréats de coach de l'année puisque seuls 8 autres coachs noirs ont gagné le trophées depuis Ray Scott... Pour aller plus loin : How Ray Scott, NBA's first Black Coach of the Year, got his chance with the Detroit Pistons, Detroit Free Press Pistons Drop Ray Scott As Coach, NY Times An NBA double standard is hindering Black head coach candidates, ESPN "Les Chroniques de Motor City", c'est votre podcast dédié à l'Histoire et à la Culture des Detroit Pistons.

Leur nom ne vous dit peut-être rien, et pourtant, le basket leur doit quand même un peu. Nous sommes en 1950 quand Earl Lloyd, Chuck Cooper et Nathaniel Clifton deviennent tour à tour le premier joueur noir drafté, le premier joueur noir à décrocher un contrat et le premier joueur noir à jouer un match en NBA. Pionnier d'un sport touché par la ségrégation, comme l'ensemble de la société US à l'époque, le trio initie alors la longue marche des Noirs dans l'élite du basket américain. Que reste-t-il de cet héritage ? Comment se sont-ils imposés ? Dans le sillage de l'icône Jackie Robinson, premier joueur noir de la MLB, la ligue nord-américaine de baseball, leur histoire mêle contexte social, stéréotypes et enfin sport, forcément. Elle invite aussi à découvrir des anecdotes, celles d'hier et celles pour la postérité, d'un hôtel de Caroline du Nord aux clubs de jazz des métropoles américaines. Quelles étaient les vies d'Earl Lloyd, Chuck Cooper et Nathaniel Clifton ? Qu'ont-ils changé en NBA ? Animé par Xavier Colombani, avec Maxime Malet (à New York). Réalisé par Roland Richard et Antoine Bourlon. Ce podcast est le premier épisode de la série inédite « Black NBA », à découvrir en parallèle dans le quotidien L'Équipe et en version numérique.

Qui est le premier joueur noir à avoir mis les pieds en NBA ? Qui est cet homme à avoir fait tomber la barrière de la couleur et à avoir pavé la voie à des milliers d'autres ? Ce nom, chaque joueur, dirigeant, spectateurs, passionnés de NBA et de basket en général devrait le connaitre. Et pourtant ce n'est pas le cas. Voici pourquoi cette Chronique de Motor City est dédiée à Earl Lloyd, qui est devenu le 31 Octobre 1950 le premier joueur noir à disputé un match NBA. Avant 1950, la NBAA et son ancêtre la BAA étaient restées entièrement blanches. La Ligue n'avait pas officiellement interdit les joueurs noirs mais le racisme était latent. Pourtant 3 ans plus tôt déjà, Jackie Robinson avait détruit la barrière de la couleur dans un baseball autrement plus populaire et malheureusement compétemment ségrégé. Alors les pontes de la NBA, les hommes à la tête des franchises les plus en avance (Celtics, Knicks) ont décidé de quitter la préhistoire et ont ouvert leurs portes aux joueurs noirs. A la draft 1950, ce son donc 3 noms qui ont rejoint la NBA : Earl Lloyd, Chuck Cooper et Nat Clifton. Chacun de ses 3 pionniers aura un rôle à jouer pour démocratiser la présence de joueurs de basket mais Earl Lloyd sera le premier à mettre un pied sur un parquet NBA et donc à marquer l'histoire...grâce à un hasard du calendrier ! Dans ce podcast, nous parlerons donc de l'impact qu'à pu avoir Earl Lloyd sur le basket américain et sur la place laissé aux joueurs noirs. Nous reviendrons sur le parcours sportif de Lloyd mais également sur sa gestion du racisme. Dans une Amérique encore sous l'horreur de la ségrégation, Earl Lloyd n'a pas toujours pu dormir dans les mêmes hôtels que ses coéquipiers, ni manger à leur table... Pourtant le basketteur gardera toujours son calme et se montrera digne de sa situation particulière Earl Lloyd a commencé sa carrière avec les Washington Capitoles et a passé ses plus belles années à Syracuse. Et pourtant il était impensable de ne pas l'avoir dans les Chroniques de Motor City. D'abord parce qu'il a finit de manière honorable sa carrière à Detroit mais surtout parce qu'il est resté dans la Motown gravissant tous les échelons : scout, puis assistant coach (une nouvelle fois le premier noir en NBA) puis head coach ! Son activité post-carrière - il travaillera à l'inclusion des minorités dans la municipalité de Detroit et avec le groupe Bing - nous permettra aussi s'intéresser plus largement sur la méconnaissance que le grand public peut avoir pour cette icone du basketball.

Celtics Stuff Live looks back this week to one of the highlights of the show, an interview with Early Lloyd from March 2008.  Earl Lloyd is known as the first black person to play in an NBA game (one of four players to break the barrier in the 1950-1951 season).  Early talks about his upbringing in Virginia, College days at West Virginia State College, and how much the world has changed since his playing days.  One of best quotes from the interview is something that he learned from his parents, "Never dignify ignorance."  We hope you will enjoy this interview as much as we did when we recorded it over 8 years ago.

#RussellMania: The Over and Back Classic NBA podcast is devoting the next few weeks to Boston Celtics legend Bill Russell. We continue in our deep dive into the life and career of Bill Russell by discussing the 1950s and 1960s playoff battles between the Boston Celtics and Syracuse Nationals (now the Philadelphia 76ers). We talk about how Dolph Schayes was a bridge between the old game and the new, how the Nationals-Celtics rivalry was fierce even before Russell joined the team, how Russell’s defense affected the Nats’ play (especially Johnny “Red” Kerr), and how close the Nationals came to beating the Celtics in 1959. We also share stories of how Celtics broadcaster Johnny Most nearly lost his dentures during a game, the disappearing 7-foot-3 Swede Halbrook, players who both played in the MLB and NBA, plus the contributions of Paul Seymour, Hal Greer, Larry Costello, George Yardley, Ed Conlin, Al Bianchi, Earl Lloyd, and, most importantly, pay tribute to the one-minute career of Forest “Frosty” Able.

On this edition of the Over and Back Classic NBA podcast, Jason Mann and Rich Kraetsch remember the lives and careers of three NBA stars we lost in the past few weeks: Anthony Mason, Jerome Kersey and Earl Lloyd. We begin with a discussion on Earl Lloyd breaking the NBA's color barrier, the unique circumstances that led to him being the one to break it, his post-playing career and much more. We then move onto a discussion of Jerome Kersey's career, his college career at tiny Longwood College to his eventual pairing with NBA greats Clyde Drexler and Terry Porter. Discussions include Kersey's standout games, best playoff series, his charitable work and his penchant for picking up fouls. The show closes with a look at Anthony Mason's beginnings as a journeymen before finally latching on with Pat Riley's New York Knicks. Similar to Kersey, we look at Mason's best games, notable playoff series, how he represented New York and Knicks basketball in the '90s as well as his post-Knick days with the Charlotte Hornets, Miami Heat and Milwaukee Bucks.
