Jason Shepherd will be back with another great Deep Blue podcast next week. In the meantime, we are featuring another fantastic BYUradio podcast, Big Stories. This podcast shares amazing and inspiring tales from the Big 12 and beyond. Since BYU recently played the University of Arizona in basketball, we thought we would share the episode The Fantastic Mr. Fox.

Fred Snowden, a.k.a. "The Fox," made history as the first African American head basketball coach at a major university when he took the helm at the University of Arizona in 1972. Facing racism, death threats, and countless challenges, Snowden persevered and turned Tucson into a basketball town. His groundbreaking leadership paved the way for future generations of African American coaches, leaving a lasting legacy on and off the court. This podcast episode tells the story of a trailblazer who overcame the odds to change the game forever.
