Mizzou Hoops coaches speak out on continuing nationwide protests
As the protests surrounding the senseless deaths of several POC continued on Sunday (including several close to the University of Missouri), people around the Mizzou community continued to add their voices to fray.
Around noon, one of the most impactful voices stepped in: Mizzou head basketball coach Cuonzo Martin. Martin has become a magnet for the “adversity” label in his years as a coach, with people pointing often to his background and circumstances. However, Martin took some time to discuss accountability and action, and how people in and outside the game can take measures to promote justice.
