that accounts for a large difference my this i knew that what happened to those years ago it was two years ago is still terribly important to us and we have ample culture that says forget it there have been years ago nina let go of that go from here but we can't because armisen are spiritually teaches us that emotional thoughts spiritual thoughts mental thoughts physical movement all traveled there is circular fashion fashion then a generation that says that when you see all that has happened to survey continuous circular growing up in texarkana texas has most certainly know about seventy thousand people in a single
payer my mother to marry her second time said look stuff up their success to us and that was a very tight family and the church's most other defendants too when complete integration first cain and cave animal was a dehumanizing matter for blackmail for the blacks and the athletic field there was nothing even exploitation their roots at the beginning of the integration i started elementary school in all black schools on my first year in junior high school we were asked to go to reward schools public schools were closed a few teachers able to keep their jobs most of us are played sports

inaugural ship asking on itunes to ride horses ship that i saw fewer people and our allies same as what i've done i think it is soon when he reported for duty we walked into the secretary and he
said yes ma'am i said that the outlook of pseudo can i can i help you i've been on the road for work through the forties logo tank top and fraternity berman i didn't look to the plays of times it's not really not really sure you know they didn't hear yes ma'am i'm a major richardson lifted up and she lifted up measurements and yes sir that's right we do have your employee here he said she was shocked you know that was a black man at the time you were not required to put a photograph or an application so i think the person they expect a person that showed up were two different people that i we were both ten o'clock on a situation that we needed a teacher and i can afford to go home so marriage was made in the spirit in my bag as i
was told by my grandmother shows into just that he can box and you know i have to do it the old traditional story among navajo weavers that they should never encompass or encircled their designs that going to a navajo rug you know you cannot leave or riding bikes everything in its right to let up a spirit so they put an intentional line cutting the border already rolling so that one of his artistic abilities and locked into that one last piece which is sort of like a doorway to your house or your body or your mind it a lousy to further expand your creation and now lives it really
is signifies get any kind of these omissions were there clearly he has a way to get out you have to have a way out and that's why the sly goes from your center after because like he's a continuation never stops is sort of like the way children are born born we grow up into adulthood and then the h and the only guy at the continuation goes on spirit why helps us remember we can continue no matter
the fall of nineteen eighty eight i was an assistant coach more difficult to travel with carry utility con and i was running into it and we were south of cuban mexico on highway forty four which is two lane highway fell asleep says those loans and took that long for them to get me through the car
and then it was another forty five minutes from so the accident threw acid on the beach so dan and his car for two hours on the nevada desert and literally almost died and that time i spent two three weeks in the hospital four days in terms of cliques and thinking that i have to prepare myself for ten fifteen twenty years down the road everything was what's going to happen later and the accidents are brought me closer to grips with the fact that any momentum and b with that i started to live my life to the fullest each day obviously still prefer for the future but i don't take the present from planet where bourne were giving this cricket says amy it's a life force that enters a us some of these life forces fought last very long
it has a certain light period some people die during childhood some people died going to use it hasn't turned the nation point now sometimes things can be prolonged shortly thereafter i became the coach of the women's basketball team that's where the story began i think intuitively chieftains i guess accidentally i kind of inheriting no one else really wanted the job at the time roosevelt because it you wanted to play basketball and i was really no one to work with them and basically took the team and we start off point the politically
inconvenient over the two girls something to do with the rooms weren't need to consume the bills just play it with an eight day at aei we're too much and so stu walks through thanks to samantha
i am all male a highway on a higher listen you know you just you listen to but that was it when i was working
overtime i thought you know people just come in and saying all junior girls and almanac teach in the play basketball in common i do this with eminem and do that with him and to look at are you crazy i dare you ask me to do this with my kids and i don't even know you with mr richards and you know that may have been the case also you know because one thing he's black i was at a zoo a lot of time and the three four years before or i could get the players to really trust enough to do some things that i want them to do the formula for the system for success the tunes
even in these girls from the merge for says rumors were already says he too needs to happen in that area the peak is my cousin's persistently and for syria mike tramp tart jam where assault close as he's a plain rural small he really only started in red white and blue uniforms and his complaint different tournaments around the reservation in kirtland scully all started small and so you can say that seeing in this generation these tunes anna kirkland
so any football game at basketball team at volleyball team competitions very fierce between the two screens sea currents basically in angleton kirkland is our own large predominant mormon community and so what you have is a lot of ngos going to school there and then he had survived which is predominately navajo then as navajos got into the house buying market the bar homes and i don't know what the percentages of students in those dunes but there are a lot of noses it in her twenties shortly after learning to the area i learned of the school group and central who was the power at that time in mexico when i came and shook rock could not compete with herman central it's a curtain central interview and we're really afraid in central and i can
understand why after the man's song why burton central had the best coaches german central have a program when most everyone else had teams have been sentenced on a parent players working at a young age and the bottom up through a system and by the time they were to play in high school they would just medicare than most of the other teams say was successful also fearful curtain and we're now dominating the entire state unlike a stage at the shooter wrote my point break state chair shook her says you know it's awesome it's awesome everyone to use couldn't central as a model for playing girls basketball i felt that there was more to the game than what has been shown by the curtain style of play and that was my motivation to get my style started the two then begins class because my style of play was just the opposite of what everyone in this area have been taught to read was the only way into playing
field last few restless healthy competition is for a while and then the last thing a lot of attention was frustration a lot of it was racially motivated the fact that i'm black but in his native american the fact the kremlin have been on top for a long long time and a lot of different factors that went into the rivalry steve inskeep part of it was just her one having been on top was so long and not really understanding how to take the fate they really didn't know how to hey hey well it says a maryland summer coach says if it's their
lease seven hundred hours as it in our debt clock in the morning so eleven o'clock and walid is to stand there and soon enough for about four feet away from the basket dedicate our lives and twelve and then i went from twelve to three dead end up staying there for a precise authentic about nine hours in the gym basketball thousand and one thing al mahmood it was my sophomore year and i really want to be in farsi and they practice in you know whatever i could do work myself up to the varsity level one name cults as well that was one of you has an outstanding prison has moved up i played with this band game ever had the philosophy at that time of the coaching staff was
we're gonna play our top five art of seventy and three quarters and that's what we did this was established method here and they was they can't just wake you can't argue with that what they do with that but i think sometimes it just felt like that they were more thing because of racism and arguably because of that and they felt that way i'm at twenty one points had a rebalancing defense that had like three often surveillance and ahead to reassess and that analysis could mean a payout well as well as higher than that every game is over are saying that sea is why as usual and see got pulled up instead of me and hours and hours confused frustrated were not end at that point you know i was as ceo of the
us today i thought i love flight of the night and one standard bank now you know i did remember when alice first chance ring on the rumors were going on and i knew myself to chip brock and his intellect i was walking around the hall in terms of knowing when it's a way this guy pulled me into one the quiet rooms in the area where it's all patted down from stuff he pieces killing another is a greater conversations to the site and then transfer and i said yeah but i think so this is a well i've been here for about twelve years and i've had a lot of experience with subprime lenders and retailers to survive on tv say it and within nine year i was going to say you know it was tough so at that point she transfer from here to share prof issues a
starship from allstate yourself offshore the whole thing you know and she felt much safer much happier were shoe that she had brought this year but she wanna play and i think some cases like it feel that way but they don't make that move they don't think that still even with mr gowdy over a curtain and i knew he was the best coach over there and they didn't even given the chance to coach of the high school level that's why he came over here today as an assistant coach and so i thought you know all over here that's arthur south with current analysis smaller for twelve years and then i want to ship rock was curator says his assistant in long island
with my mother being a weaver i took it upon myself to do the same basic thing about imperfection in any of my pieces that are made whether people a necklace cost two or some other type of jewelry that i make by putting out a line to break the outer circle out a rug design that is supposedly where the artistic spirit are able to go into now because of human nature human error a lot of the exit for imperfections teeth naturally happened to his desired yes according to my mother and mortar historians as an outlet in the navajo stories you're never able to provide any
of the eighty seven season the year that we didn't win the state championship for you that we ran out we don't have the team to win the chemistry wasn't what it could have been an issue i don't think our team realize at the time how good they were i of course knew and now is having some difficulty in of relaying that information to the team i'm not sure the team have total confidence and what i was doing or my staff at that particular time because this was early on in our development gavin seven season was tough it was difficult from a mile for citizenship or on an idea knowing that people and the head coaches they did my son an assistant coach was my age and nine there was very obvious from from the rare dna that
they they didn't really all i guess you'd say you probably had a pretty talking to the longest active coaching girls' basketball most at mexico when i came out any masculine ideals city three basketball would not recognize as a mere scholastic sport while costar leave on the plus i was a good teacher he knew fundamentals the conflict i think was he was an older guy that had worked for a long long time and had always wanted to be a head coach and unfortunately he was my assistant coach and i think where it was racial i think there was that aspect that i think there was a conflict there over the older white men have difficulty working with the younger working for younger black man there are some things there between you know what i mean we just didn't do all we just we go on get up as
hard talk doesn't like that because we were together and we get we name that we didnt work together they would get out a one message that they also have very different approach host alli was more the fatherly type more low keyed softly spoken and jay was more like this stern taskmaster he didn't try to be so personable it is so would tell us to do one thing that we got three stars know it's not right to be this way and isn't going as mr downey and so he would say it's a year because you have to do it and so we would do it our own way but it's not usually the way mr richardson want it slowly he would say that there are you going to do and then each of us was always so i guess you get sick of it because he thought that this dude that was trying to take was to richardson's position i guess mr
gowdy would be on the side helping diversity does the first five and as the b inside he said okay go here and that's where then we come back on verified with the first time easing are we doing this now an endowed with wipeout and i told him to do this and that's where it started like i guess which is about doubting and how he i guess he didn't really like mr downey or something because i know a lot of the girls looked up to him because he was real sympathetic said things that were happening around us other than basketball is one virtually everything anything about girls' team he he knew the files there's that's the best that one could do it's been insane so i cry i
mean you know what do these guys and he was never satisfied stuff like asthma navajos it was like yeah it was just more of a put downey savings once you get ahead of this self quantification state between it was it wasn't peer week is there now are the reasons that giveth now cause he can put down our feelings can be hurt really easily i think that he's doing it to make us get better but we take a person even understand uber and sits on three meetings to some of the girls on the team that you are so just really mean like mm hmm i've been accused of being too hard on the kid you get to lines will discipline can be pursued and different way to fight
push and i fight for the best for them and i expect that the us found and when basically trying to show them is that if you work hard you commit yourself to something you do you will be rewarded i think you see any this year my mom because a lot of things that all players and work with were things that i was so and the one thing she always left with us was that you'd have to be covered then we cannot his clinician must be so i took up with everything i did athletically i could not be just a good plan to be the best player academically i had to make the best ways that i could and if i have a job to do
who's done the pacific be done to this day is still doing no philosophy it's a dual philosophy into words one is new one is female they compliment each other to make life for themselves so which means in a very rational translation your life and the other one was saying that really hits and their needs beauty is what this event in the creation stories that person in person together and they survived all the things that happened in their environment to give them
my father died when i was so the women in my family were the focal points my grandmother my grandmother when i also became an american individual and understood a close relationship with a male i also remember when i was still in the early years it has to be a balance it's not that the man is over a woman in and control it was to working with girls i just don't like to have you know a year and oreos of that she had a lot in that she was a navajo woman i could speak the language and i understood the girls she brought something to us but by the same token she didn't have a working knowledge of the game itself
i was a teen mother when the girls were interrupted state it was a special role for me because i was a navajo teacher and i grew up in this community and they needed a woman on the team uses coach richardson yes income gains and games because sometimes they're really bad and hewitt that after you've won again to some high as it turned out i began to see what jerry was done and the skills when they get their heart out for cherry in there and it wasn't good enough to go like you don't play like you shouldn't be very good basketball right now no and yes you did win but it's not good enough so the girls somewhere along the
line going to slow coach downie began to notice that coach wooden began to notice it but no one wanted to say anything this all boiled through the whole season through the whole season and and i was an outsider say always without really knowing any of these people in and just gradually figure out what was going on and now it all came to head at the state terminated as bell any
right yeah oh ah ah last game we played the reasons that this mention to the girls on the damage and then one of the girls notice i think college daddy wanted to say something to coach richardson and jerry didn't like it philip hammond a game that night and since then fifty percent of her such as so in every into to get that neither shooting lines richardson in his ceiling with what's it going to do now he said was do as you're told him he said okay
in legacy probably thought that she did it in that in a crudely i i yeah i did guess so then he came over and during a rare kind manner that nice talking least look at him in this very reticent such you're smiling as their body patting her and saying it's a great as it did a good job you know what you're doing and he didn't like it after the game was overwrought going to lock and he came out and sit down and the tone and the head coach i say what i say in a gross receipts mean that to you in your this system and he just ended or a reality around esther dyson is not merely in the good views that really plays it as play he said i'm not my plane retired hollering you just laid out his clipboard and it's like there's a fine get it in his wife janice i mean when the time we need every night is that he came into is that that isn't enough his top notch players one of them was totally in tears all the fans of course the biggest cheers for
joining it some people guessing why she cry finally the guys came to me and said is to tell him something if that it to coaches thought it did say something to him so yeah so how did the game goes well it was all right glass their hit the ceiling he was furious so everyone was here we it quietly hire flown to the us the other two coaches were no doubt he split jerry sinatra particularly since been just completely white in a blessing no you weren't taught research associate these areas are talking about me in
young man and that man and how did it change you walked over he says set up eerily i can't make the decisions he says you tell me where you want to be any part of all at this one restaurant that was pretty heavily then we only got out and you're not worried you want sleaze and it is quite mother you know and in a really sad away from winston that searches incident using quantum not in riyadh talking listeria harnessing lessons to teach either side cheering it doesn't say oh where is the us and one of the girls analysis or what the russians and he's staring at me he didn't even eat maki get that
matter in the case he illustrated it is when many seasons to berlin and start listening to come back to the hotel after we ate we quietly gotten the us and as teen mothers of history i tell what a crazy situation to be here we had opened this bottle of something that is bubbling and you know i had to deal with it he asked us what the news they get together and talk about that tell me when you come back to all the changes the girls were together tony tether came down here in the very white actually come to institutes in here all volunteer their way we knew we were going to have it tea meaning afterwards laughter our own the players needing so they tell me no stuff that was bothering
them and i said ok well on to say this in our city and i hope they bang we hope we delivered an afterthought i'm just a simple its mandate and stuff we this stage and tv images and indian home repair something else in the room and then we heard this week dr you kind of like it was a team event the next two sided deal and pay pensions so ira mehlman was the first time but this weekend eight they went up to the door and they started looking to the people not arguing that human so the arctic tern the content that people still just everything now sitting
in right now yes a nineteen sixties that's his home state i mean i was furious and saying you know why we do this now and handmade it's a statement supposedly an ardent spirits and jerry started he was furious he clarified as he was trying to summon motions to the girls had all their hits and how he asks okay what's wrong and he was like ok when i say wouldn't have to tell me what you think it was so what we want to say yes the big steamy what am i doing wrong he was like ok you're reducing i you know
and then you go you know when he had to say they say he was doing is easy what wouldn't i did to get this honor you're not listening to me it is a solicitor what i say in the court and that's when somebody came in it came during his am i interrupting a meeting i you know when this meeting is well this is a meeting he said to him to mr downey in his own camp won this thing and that robot nights with richardson said that's mr gowdy said ew girls were coming to see him because you think that i'm going to get mad and say something from now on a minute be asking you guys if it's the way you want to do it or if it's not we wanted to because you know he signed the satire that shit he said one of the girls was brave enough tears in her eyes and she said were confused we like
danny and we like you but every time we talk to dowdy you get furious about this latest jealousy we see you biting the court just clears their silence years and we don't like it you've said you know that i think home cause he drove the airbag me and say well they don't like the way it attitudinal euro not vicious knowing that change really tell us things because it hurts sometimes we meet all on the court but our hearts can only take so much there is a breaking point and sometimes he'd go until too far beyond that he says ariana and i said there's no right side and believes there i didn't know when he's sitting home hannah i'm in trouble now he'd see my has really surprised
by what this young lady has said that he started to talk and he ran into what i always scared sometimes write like jerry sometimes we say i'm a black man only black men here and they get nation and dealing with all these out how to disable people who you know you find out a lot here and the border towns so he went into that moment that people always talk about this and now i'm hearing there and i had ensured and i said that jerry you're talking to indian people i said don't give me this for the black boy day i said we've gone through this all our lives too he said that's enough and then i went and explained that he doesn't given the perilous and strokes he doesn't build them up enough he always tell them they're not good enough and that's what i think we're seeing in people we always hear that and he i could feel him reacting to every word i said
lesson about how they she noted the response billion coins and garry came out of the things i've been with his podium and i've seen how you treat your girl i'm going to let and now they're just scared of you and you don't need to do that because that's not a thought there wasn't right and that's where it started in which we just came down he was just as my teen these are my girls and the coach i'm the one telling and you don't need a cheap to mine this that are rich to montego had take over take over and that is i know it's your team and deserved but the night before a championship game a lot coming apart knowing what to do is that existed like when he disappeared
since it is with me he said that when an arab state at home renee this in a sprawling blaze says i don't think it's much of the coaches fall somebody just on when it doesn't when it's your fault it's an old charity yesterday a hillel paris matisse in my place to where i was telling him what he should do and i should be coaching my mother every day since the second grade it was one thing time for dance for us to go into town the streets and homes churches and should be coach and you know we have to be told once in a while i'll should be human i don't know i feel that was it really is too rich and spot that a lack of it was kind of all of this you know so the thing is to be dominant than a jagged edges and it cost that slot because we have
on a cheery to see what was happening all along that he needed to take a look at the things that he was doing wrong and green attitudes boost it back up this is all out of pocket knives and filing very simple yet said anything cold toward what you think and so that i don't really know what to think that it's really don't know that what i was thinking was newspaper all crazy where again to more on with an animal the night at her argument that all those little stuff one of these girls they'd been bed when it be making a game plan but what i thought and probably should've said i did it seems like the hackers are sounds from a all these bad feelings all through the year and the carols since then but still it wasn't over yet they just do the feelings that i left over from all those things been
brought up on the open so someone in infamy and said this is to re instill the tall handsome everybody held hands to give us guidance tomorrow with the championship game it's been proposals been a peak talking about all this is good and fine
if we don't have any bad feelings afterwards i said we've got to leave this tour and after we leave this dark we have to be wondering if we can be divided into said only then the stall marked me when are senator leahy is mean to ruin so if the golan think about what he was doing and what this film was just like a whole big are you mean it's like a whole thing began rapid you know that in a way this is harmony we have brought our harmony up a little bit here we are a tool to function for tomorrow's game saturday night's rest and we were ready to play the next day it was a line with what is their riches in this intelligence
these days baby we went into the dressing room and jerry was very common in humans that was a good feeling all in the locker room and jerry said he gazes out pep speech to the girls the girls listen very attentively to him you just tell us do afford ourselves not for anyone just to play this game it was your very last game that you would ever be pine since this is your game of you please which is dead and i
understand it you win we win after jerry gave his talk he politely turned and he said do you have anything to say most of it after daddy kane and she said this and wouldn't he have anything to say then he asked me and i just had to sit for their parents and that there was a whole like beware one right before the guy putting inanimate toy i mean we've always feel like we're going to win he's been with the poem
is bigger today labor day is over a day
potatoes you know we come to pass but the peace between the poem that
is beside the point weakness but the point is because it's been ty first quarter a tie a half thai third quarter high fourth quarter tide first overtime in only defense was you know one
point in the second overtime we were still in position to have won the game you know films of the last final point the piece is the piece be you can do to use crime to you know you got to let out the spirit so that one's
artistic abilities of locked into that one last piece of who track if you try to be as creative when i'm not get it then that's when you do your spare time and then there's the continuation goes on and that's what the spirit by top says remember we can continue no matter what nina penny we lost some of them sit well with that he didn't win because otherwise he just holy spirit behind he get all the glory it was hard to see and thinking are we get mystery
to say that because you talked with the interrogation to afterwards in the last he asked for forgiveness and i was in high school basketball to lose everything one of my dreams growing up with professional basketball everyone thought i would go to college and play basketball and i did too unfortunately during the time that i was growing up student athletes were not allowed to talk to you didn't have an opinion and who are supposed to resume it's all right or wrong we're thinking of there was a tough time i watched my mother my mother have to do things that i swore i would not do who were child and swore i would never happen to me finish with my high school career
which was a very good one that led to city and scoring for a couple years in was it going to college and play basketball i was a really given any office only to find that i had been black ball but my athletic director and coach because they didn't like my personality susan collins who was richard simmons we don't want which just tend to take so i had just that label and i really didn't know my only thought at that point was that if i didn't play basketball or i'm thinking this is one that i would be able to go to college or i wouldn't be successful at a track scholarship it was something that would give me the culture of the education is more important than the basketball with adversity well it came and you just need the most avid announces another terminal illness

Description
Description
In 1980, Jerry Richardson, a 24-year-old black man from East Texas who had just finished college in Louisiana, took a job coaching basketball in Shiprock, New Mexico, a depressed Navajo community. He takes on the girls varsity team, a losing lineup of girls who seem to have no chance or hope of succeeding in anything. With racial tensions fueling the fire with their biggest rival and eight-time state champions, Kirtland Central, Jerry pushes the girls as hard as he did himself growing up in an all-white school. Their work pays off, and by 1987, the Lady Chieftains are state contenders. Behind the scenes, however, a conflict divides the team and coaches. Much of the community feels that Jerry is too harsh but Jerry thinks his authority is being undermined. After losing an important game, Jerry finds a way to open up to the girls and this culminates in a nail-biting finale. With real game footage and current and candid interviews, this is an inspirational look at winning and losing, and everything in between.
