Oklahoma State basketball: Remembering Jack Shelton
I love writing about the dusty days of sports history, but in normal times, I try not to do too much of it. Lots going on. Lots to keep up with.
These days are different, of course, so I’ve found more opportunities to look back on days of yore. Like my piece in the Sunday Oklahoman on the rivalry and success of basketball coaches Bruce Drake (OU) and Henry Iba (Oklahoma A&M). You can read that column here.
One of my favorite things is to learn about some event or some individual I knew little about. And in the Drake/Iba research, I learned a lot about Jack Shelton, a 6-foot-7 forward for Iba in the late 1940s.
