Biography

Nevil Shed ( Bronx, New York ) attended Morris High school in 1962. He was a member of the Texas Western Miners (now named University of Texas at El Paso) team that won the 1966 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament National Championship. The team was coached by Don Haskins. The Miners made history for being the first team to start an all African-American lineup in the Championship game. Being 6 foot 8 inches, Shed was one of the starters in the lineup. His basketball nickname was, "the shadow". Glory Road (film), the Disney blockbuster, chronicles the team's outstanding journey; Shed is played by Al Shearer. After playing at Texas Western, Shed was drafted by the Boston Celtics. He was on the starting lineup of that team as well. His career ended with a bang when he tore up his leg while attempting a lay up at a game. He later became an assistant coach for his college coach, Don Haskins at Texas Western. Nevil Shed is currently working at a Spurs Camp in San Antonio, Texas. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevil_Shed
