John Thompson RIP

Nope.
He recruited white kids but not many white kids, or maybe it was their parents, wanted to play for a black Coach when Big John was coaching.
Or maybe they got paid to go to another school.
Thompson had teams with 2-3 white kids on them. His national championship team did not have any white players.
But here is the irony:
If a white coach has an all-black team, he's a humanitarian. He's helping kids. He's a f@cking hero.
If a black coach has an all-black team, some people are going to ask if he was racist?
And use a false example to back up their question by asking something like: As in he refused to recruit white kids?
Good point, I met John Thompson a couple times, definitely not a racist was very accommodating answered questions from myself and my friend . Also took a picture with him very nice man.
One of my favorite white guys to play for Coach Thompson was Brian Kelly. A tough kid who fit in perfectly and started for parts of his senior year.
