This was a whole Tribeca Film Festival thing back in 2011. Can see pics if you google it. Pretty cool. I imagine this story will come out next week in the run up to the Final Four.
I've been trying to buy a copy of the actual documentary for some time but it isn't available as far as I can tell.
Their story isn't dissimilar to that of many disadvantaged ballers from other places except they're from the Rez and they appear to have won the parent lottery.
I think Stiles will be an amazing head coach. Hope she gets it!
Yep, I've heard the story of the Schimmels. Pretty cool.
