Enchanting Stories of New Mexico - Ralph Tasker, Rawhide and the WIPP site

While we are thinking about March madness, I think back to the most dominate coach in New Mexico high school Boys’ Basketball. Even though he died at age 80 in 1999, you still see the Ralph Tasker name since the Hobbs High School gymnasium is the Ralph Tasker Arena. And I have interviewed several of his former players who to a man started talking with the term: Full-Court Press. What that meant was they were always active on both ends of the court and pressed the opponents every second of the game. That took incredible physical stamina on the player’s part to be active every moment of the game.  In this episode I also talk about the TV Series Rawhide with a New Mexico connection and look at 25 years of the WIPP siteLove this Podcast?
