Even in the late 50s, it feels like that story gave folks a little insight on how coach Bryant felt about racism in the deep south and how he might grind not having some of the best players on his team. Coach Bryant was so successful, immediately, getting the best black atletics in the early 70s. As you could tell, he was never out of his comfort zone with people.

When Coach Bryant was first able to recruit black athletes, he would go straight to the kids mama, daddy or whoever raised him and tell them that he'd make a "grown man" out of him if they sent their boy to him, and he'd treat him just like every other kid on his team...fairly and honestly.
It worked for him from the beginning to the end.
