Roosevelt Sanders, legendary Central basketball coach, dies: 'You couldn't ask for a better person'

Roosevelt Sanders, longtime former Central boys basketball coach, died this weekend, Sanders' chief assistant Robey Butler confirmed to the Tuscaloosa News.
Sanders, 84, coached Central to 699 wins, back-to-back AHSAA state championships in 1990 and '91 and four Final Four appearances.
He is in the Alabama High School Sports Hall of Fame and the namesake of Central's gym.
...................................
"Rose" Sanders was a black man.
I knew him, and followed him when he coached Druid High School (Tuscaloosa's black high school before integration), and afterward when he came to Central H.S.
Rose was my friend, as is Robby Butler
When James Toombs led the nation in scoring at Stillman College in Tuscaloosa in the mid-60s, we'd regularly go over to watch him. (Stillman was a black college)

My basketball experience/knowledge isn't limited to race, nor time, Bud!
PS- My best friend has a basketball gym floor named after him over in the Tuscaloosa area.
I was going to jokingly add the comment by you saying, "some of my best friends are black". I didn't have to bother.

You likely knew or know of my uncle and great uncle who both played at Alabama. The former with Leon Douglas, Wendell Hudson, and TR Dunn and the latter who was a member of the Rocket 8.

This season has provided a rarity: multiple teams reaching No. 1 for the first time in program history. Purdue and Auburn have done it this season. The last time we saw this was 2008-09. That year it was Pitt and Louisville that did it. (Yes, Louisville was never No. 1 until '08-09; I triple-checked this.) Norlander

One source says Louisville doesn’t want Pearl.
That's pretty stupid, Pearl is a heck of a coach

Louisville was #1 in '80, '86 and '13.
Edit...realized you were only talking about the poll.

Old geezer, meaning smarter and more experienced than you? I can't deny that even though that is not a high standard.
