TCU to honor local icon at Monday’s hoops game

Because of the color of his skin, Robert Hughes could not have played at TCU.

The long time Dunbar boys’ basketball coach will be honored at halftime of TCU’s basketball game on Monday night against his alma mater, Texas Southern.

TCU head coach Jamie Dixon made Hughes a priority not long after he accepted the job in Fort Worth.
