Thought Question---Time to Think
Though the camp at Junction was by Coach Bryant's own admission "the worst mistake in my coaching career", it was not all that different than what other programs were doing at the time.
1) What events and attitudes led to this? Think about America and Sports in America in the 1940s and 1950s.
