About this listen

This episode isn’t about basketball — it’s about legacy, identity, purpose, and power.

Ross sits down with filmmaker Creston Coleman to discuss Orange and Black: Beneath the Numbers, a new documentary that dives into the soul of Peoria’s Manual High School basketball dynasty. But this isn’t just nostalgia — it’s a look at what it meant to be young, Black, and full of promise in a city that’s changed around you.

Creston speaks with raw honesty about Coach Wayne McClain, a towering mentor who shaped generations of boys into men, and about how sports became one of the only safe spaces for young men to express emotion and find direction.

And one message rings loud:
“Community isn’t a word — it’s an action.”
