When Ron Newlin became the first executive director of the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame in 1987, there were a couple of books about high school basketball and a number of biographies on individual players and coaches. Today, books about Indiana basketball are everywhere…but Legacy and Legend is nonetheless the first book that attempts to cover the development of the game in this state across all levels-high school, college, and professional-with a focus on the social and economic factors that explain why Indiana adopted this particular sport. It won’t surprise local audiences to learn that Delaware County stories pop up decade after decade among the state’s legends.
