Jack McCallum is on the case of the Crispus Attucks Tigers, a young Oscar Robertson, and purloined glory in the heartland of hoops. In The Real Hoosiers, his 12th book, McCallum dives into why Indiana celebrates the 1954 Milan Miracle, and the film “Hoosiers,” more than Attucks. Repping a school community forced into existence in a “bewildering and openly racist big-city educational system,” future NBA assist king and players' union leader Robertson and his teammates won back-to-back Indiana schoolboy titles barely a decade after the competition was opened to Black schools. It was the first time anywhere in America that a Black team had won ‘State,' and that gets into some “freighted” history. Best known as a longtime NBA writer at Sports Illustrated, McCallum's basketball books include Dream Team, Golden Days, and Seven Seconds Or Less. He also detailed a personal health challenge in The Prostate Monologues.
On the untold story of Indiana high school basketball and the team you need to know about; on the brilliance of a young Oscar Robertson; on whether we can still dig, "Hoosiers"; on nearly coming to blows with a Hall of Fame point guard.
The industry of journalism in this country is under attack as never before. That's not news. What is news is when the onslaught comes from within, as in self-inflicted wounds. And while the division of journalism that extends to sports may not always be held in the highest of regards within the division, it is an essential and perhaps most visible part. So, when that necessary and noticeable wing of the Fourth Estate catches friendly fire, it's cause for concern. Twice, in recent weeks, sports journalism has taken hits, hits that were entirely avoidable and entirely of the making of those involved. In the first case, the wound should be superficial, but the shrapnel may hurt everyone, but the people directly responsible. During an airing of a podcast, Charissa Thompson, a former NFL sideline reporter, said she would make up reports, particularly if she couldn't reach a coach at halftime. Thompson made this admission to Erin Andrews, another sideline reporter, who copped to the idea that she had done the same thing, though in her case, Andrews said she made things up to protect a coach. Both Thompson, who now hosts NFL game programming on Amazon and Fox, and Andrews issued lukewarm clarifications for their admissions. Neither has been publicly reprimanded by their employers. Their conduct drew swift and, in some cases, furious condemnation from their colleagues who recognize the damage the admission of phony reporting can do to the institution of journalism, even if you don't equate asking a coach or player about their thoughts with Woodward and Bernstein during Watergate. Those sideline colleagues, almost exclusively women, further understand the harm that Andrews and Thompson have done to the cause of female sports reporters who already enter the fray at a credibility disadvantage from many simply because of their gender. That Thompson and Andrews appear poised to emerge unscathed is a cynical gambit from Fox and Amazon that viewers don't care what comes from their television sets. Meanwhile, the website Futurism reported that Sports Illustrated posted online pieces from fictitious writers whose headshots were generated by artificial intelligence. Officials at Arena, which owns SI, denied the allegations, but acknowledged that the magazine had carried material from a third-party provider that allowed writers to use pen names or pseudonyms. That material has been pulled, officials said, and an investigation is being conducted. Even if you take these officials at their word, the notion that Sports Illustrated, once home to some of the greatest names in sports journalism, giants like Jack McCallum, Leigh Montville, Gary Smith and Baltimore's own Frank DeFord, farmed out its space to what amounts to an advertising firm, is anathema. To be clear, organizations who fly reputable journalistic banners are already testing the limits of AI usage, up to and including posting stories generated by bots, rather than flesh and blood people, in the name of saving money. But the folks who run places like Fox, Amazon and Arena had better start considering what happens when the public can't trust what it hears or reads, even if it's just about silly games. And that's how I see it for this week. You can reach us via email with your questions and comments at Sports at Large at gmail.com. And follow me on Threads and Twitter at Sports at Large. Until next week, for all of us here, I'm Milton Kent. Thanks for listening and enjoy the games.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

June 28th, 1992. Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley, and more step onto the court in public for the very first time as teammates. They take center stage against Cuba, in their first tune-up before they would become a truly global phenomenon at the '92 Olympics in Barcelona. This is the world's introduction to the Dream Team. Anyone who knew basketball had a pretty good idea that this team of future Hall-of-Famers would romp to a gold medal. But what they might not have known was the behind-the-scenes drama involved in putting together this legendary roster. How did this team change the way international basketball was played forever? What led to the sudden rule change that allowed pro basketball players in the Olympics after decades of America sending only amateurs? And just who was on the only team that did (privately) beat the Dream Team? Special thanks to our guests: Jack McCallum, senior writer for Sports Illustrated and author of the bestseller Dream Team, and Ken Rosenthal, senior writer for The Athletic who covered the Dream Team for the Baltimore Sun in 1992.

Rafael Barlowe from NBADraftjunkies.com takes a deep dive into the success of centers selected in the lottery from the past 5 draft classes. In 1988 Jack McCallum from Sports Illustrated wrote a story about the disappearance of the dominant NBA center. 33 years later there are still fans wondering if you can build around a center in the small ball era. In the past 5 draft classes there have been 12 centers selected in the lottery and only 3 have averaged a double double in a season, so is it worth selecting a center in the top half of the first round?

Hit the Bullseye: Zane's Cycles in Branford, Connecticut uses service as a strategic differentiator. It's helped the company grow from a local bicycle and hobby shop, to the largest P&I (Premiums and Incentives) distributor of bicycles in the United States. Chris Zane is CEO of the company he started as a 16 year old and built through strategic differentiators like one-to-one marketing and exemplary service:*Lifetime Free Service—makes first time customers more comfortable and brings them back to the store again and again when they can buy more stuff.*Lifetime Parts Warranty—Zane added this to tie into the free service by having a small number of vendor partners and holding them accountable.*Flat Tire Insurance—The idea of a flat tire worries first time bike owners so the “flat insurance” offered at a nominal fee reduces anxiety and again brings customers back to the store.*Kids play area—Parents can shop while the kids play and maybe even buy that Christmas Bike without the kids knowing it.*Kids Bike upgrades—This trade in policy allows parents to buy a child's bike and then trade it in for full price credited towards a larger bike. And this service like all of the ones I mentioned were retroactive meaning that when Zane started the new service, they notified all past customers letting them know about it.Zane's Cycles shows us how to Hit the Bullseye with creative offerings, one-to-one marketing and amazing service.Guest Background: Resonance Founder and CEO Rachel Parker helps companies, associations, and other organizations understand why traditional advertising just isn't connecting with today's customers … and how this new thing called “content marketing” (which actually isn't so new) is doing just that.Rachel is an author, podcast host and regular on the speaking circuit, earning rave reviews for her content.Rachel's Book: The Content Marketing Coach http://contentmarketingcoachbook.com/Tool or Tip: People often say they don't like to write but they know creating content is necessary.
