'''Clem Smith Haskins''' (born July 11, 1943) is an American former college and professional [[basketball]] player and [[college basketball]] coach. In the fall of 1963, he and fellow star player Dwight Smith became the first black athletes to integrate the [[Western Kentucky Hilltoppers basketball|Western Kentucky University (WKU) basketball]] program.<ref>[http://www.hilltopperhaven.com/legends/smith.html Hilltopper Legend Dwight Smith] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080509125356/http://www.hilltopperhaven.com/legends/smith.html |date=2008-05-09 }} Hilltopper Haven</ref> This put Western Kentucky at the forefront to integrate college basketball in the South.<ref>Abdul-Jabbar, Kareem – {{cite web|url=http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/kareem/2008/03/index.html |title=My thoughts on UCLA in the Final Four |access-date=2008-05-13 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080304191113/http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/kareem/2008/03/index.html |archive-date=March 4, 2008 }} ''Los Angeles Times'', 31 March 2008. Western Kentucky was at the forefront of the fight to integrate college basketball in the 1960s and early 1970s.</ref>

Haskins served 13 years (1986–1999) as head coach of the [[Minnesota Golden Gophers men's basketball|University of Minnesota]]'s men's basketball team, but was forced to resign due to his part in the [[University of Minnesota basketball scandal]].<ref name="THAMAL">Thamal, Pete – [http://thequad.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/03/27/catching-up-with-clem/ Catching Up With Clem], ''New York Times'', 27 March 2008.</ref> Due to his actions in the scandal, he was given a seven-year [[show-cause penalty]] which effectively ended his coaching career.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2001/04/07/sports/plus-college-basketball-ncaa-upholds-haskins-penalties.html?sq=Clem+haskins+and+academic+fraud&scp=5&st=nyt PLUS: COLLEGE BASKETBALL; N.C.A.A. Upholds Haskins Penalties], ''New York Times'', 7 April 2001.</ref>

==Early life==
Haskins was born and grew up in [[Campbellsville, Kentucky]], the county seat. He is the fifth of eleven children of Charles Columbus and Lucy Edna Haskins, who were [[sharecropper]]s. During his freshman and sophomore seasons, he attended the all-black Durham High School (public schools were frequently in those years still segregated in the South, years after the practice was declared illegal). In 1961 Haskins attended Taylor County High School, the first African American to do so in the previously segregated system.  His younger brother, Merion, was a standout player at the [[University of Kentucky]], graduating in 1977.<ref name="nkaa_merion_haskins">{{cite web |title=Haskins, Merion |url=https://nkaa.uky.edu/nkaa/items/show/195 |website=Notable Kentucky African American Database |publisher=[[University of Kentucky]] |access-date=18 August 2018}}</ref>

==College career==
Haskins and teammate Dwight Smith were heavily recruited by Western Kentucky Hilltoppers coach [[Edgar Diddle]] and joined the team in 1963.{{citation needed|date=June 2014}} They became the first African-American athletes to play for Western Kentucky. They won the [[Ohio Valley Conference]] two years in a row under the direction of the popular WKU head coach [[John Oldham (basketball)|John Oldham]], who succeeded Diddle their sophomore year. Haskins was the Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year in 1966. In the [[1966 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament]], the Hilltoppers were 2 points away from defeating Michigan and meeting the University of Kentucky Wildcats in the Mideast regional final. A controversial foul called against Smith during a jump ball put [[Cazzie Russell]] on the free throw line for Michigan, where he scored the tying and winning baskets.<ref>O'Donnell, Chuck – Cazzie Russell: converting two free throws with no time left advanced Michigan in the 1966 NCAA Tournament – The Game I'll Never Forget – University of Michigan versus Western Kentucky University. ''Basketball Digest'', January/February 2004 issue</ref> In 1967, Haskins had broken his wrist in a game against Murray State on February 6. His team still won the Ohio Valley Conference again. In the [[1967 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament]], the #3-ranked Hilltoppers lost to eventual national runner-up Dayton in overtime in the Mideast quarterfinals.

==NBA career==
After a successful college career, Haskins was selected by the [[Chicago Bulls]] in the first round of the 1967 [[NBA draft]] and by the [[Kentucky Colonels]] in the [[American Basketball Association]] draft.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.basketballreference.com/players/playerpage.htm?ilkid=HaskiCl01 |title=BasketballReference.com Clem Haskins page |access-date=2008-11-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071211170854/http://basketballreference.com/players/playerpage.htm?ilkid=HASKICL01 |archive-date=2007-12-11 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Haskins played nine years in the [[National Basketball Association|NBA]] with three teams (the Bulls, the [[Phoenix Suns]], and the [[Washington Bullets]]). He retired in 1976 due to knee injuries, having tallied 8,743 career points.

==Coaching career==
After his NBA career, Haskins returned to [[Western Kentucky University]], first as an assistant coach in 1977 and then as head coach in 1980.<ref name="Minnesota bio">{{cite web|title=Clem Haskins|publisher=Minnesota Golden Gophers|url=http://www.gophersports.com/mbasket/cprofile.asp|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19980128033116/http://www.gophersports.com/mbasket/cprofile.asp|archive-date=January 28, 1998}}</ref> As head coach, he led Western Kentucky to two NCAA appearances and one NIT appearance.

In 1986, Haskins was hired by the [[University of Minnesota]] to rebuild the school's men's basketball program.<ref name="weiner">Weiner, Jay – [https://www.nytimes.com/1987/02/01/sports/college-basketball-87-clem-haskins-fresh-start-for-haskins-and-minnesota.html "COLLEGE BASKETBALL '87: CLEM HASKINS; FRESH START FOR HASKINS AND MINNESOTA"]. ''New York Times'', February 1, 1987</ref> He led the [[Minnesota Golden Gophers men's basketball|Gophers]] to a school-record 31 wins and the [[NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship|Final Four]] in 1997, winning the [[Clair Bee Coach of the Year Award]] in the same year. He also led Minnesota to [[National Invitation Tournament|NIT]] titles in 1993 and 1998. He joined [[Lenny Wilkens]]' staff to coach the United States men's basketball team to the gold medal in the [[Basketball at the 1996 Summer Olympics|1996 Summer Olympics]].

Haskins was known for sitting on a four-legged bar stool at Minnesota home games. [[Williams Arena]] has a raised floor which was hard on his knees, and ordinarily the team sits off the floor.

===Minnesota academic scandal===
{{main|University of Minnesota basketball scandal}}
On the day before the [[1999 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament|1999 NCAA tournament]], the ''[[St. Paul Pioneer Press]]'' reported that Jan Gangelhoff, the manager of the school's academic counseling office, claimed to have written more than 400 pieces of coursework (including theme papers, homework assignments and take-home tests) for 18 Golden Gophers players from 1994 to 1998, including the Gophers' run to the Final Four. The Gophers suspended four then-current players, including two starters, for the school's first-round game against [[Gonzaga Bulldogs men's basketball|Gonzaga]]; the Gophers lost that game.<ref name="accused of academic fraud">{{cite web  | last = Dohrmann  | first = George  | title = U basketball program accused of academic fraud  | work = [[St. Paul Pioneer Press]]  | date = March 10, 1999  | url = http://www.pioneerplanet.com/uofm/docs/0310gophers.htm | access-date = May 13, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20011230153823/http://www.pioneerplanet.com/uofm/docs/0310gophers.htm|archive-date=December 30, 2001}}</ref> At the time, it was not known whether Haskins was involved. The ''Pioneer Press'' was harshly criticized for the timing of the report.<ref>Robertson, Lori – [http://www.ajr.org/Article.asp?id=580 "Body Slam"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927202513/http://www.ajr.org/Article.asp?id=580 |date=2007-09-27 }}, ''American Journalism Review'', May 1999</ref> Minnesota forced Haskins to resign after the season for his part in the violations. The school subsequently withdrew from postseason consideration for the [[1999–2000 NCAA Division I men's basketball season|1999–2000 season]], docked itself 11 scholarships from 2000 to 2004, and imposed other sanctions on the basketball program.

Initially, the university bought out Haskins's contract for $1.5 million. However, it sought to recover funds after learning more about Haskins' activities and, in 2002, a state judge ordered Haskins to return $815,000 of the buyout money. The decision was based on an arbitrator's recommendation and the university's conclusion that Haskins had lied to NCAA investigators and committed fraud by accepting the buyout.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2002/05/14/sports/plus-college-basketball-haskins-ordered-to-return-money.html|title=PLUS: COLLEGE BASKETBALL; Haskins Ordered To Return Money|work=New York Times|date=May 14, 2002|access-date=July 16, 2014}}</ref>

The university had learned during its internal investigation that Haskins had paid Gangelhoff $3,000 to write papers for the players. Haskins had initially denied making the payment during an interview in June 1999, but acknowledged it a month later. In October 2000, the NCAA placed the Golden Gophers program on four years' probation, and stripped the school of its wins in the [[1994 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament|1994]], [[1995 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament|1995]], and [[1997 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament|1997]] NCAA Tournaments, as well as its NIT wins in [[1996 National Invitation Tournament|1996]] and [[1998 National Invitation Tournament|1998]]. The Gophers were docked an additional five scholarships over three seasons.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://web1.ncaa.org/LSDBi/exec/miSearch?miSearchSubmit=publicReport&key=505&publicTerms=THIS%20PHRASE%20WILL%20NOT%20BE%20REPEATED |title=University of Minnesota, Twin Cities Public Infractions Report |date=October 24, 2000 |publisher=NCAA |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060828013102/http://www.ncaa.org/releases/infractions/2000/2000102401in.htm |archive-date=August 28, 2006 |access-date=June 21, 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref> A few days later, the Big Ten Conference stripped Minnesota of the 1997 conference title and forced it to vacate every regular season game it played from 1993–94 to 1998–99. Officially, Minnesota's record for those years is 0–0. If not for these vacated games, Haskins' 242 wins would rank second on the Golden Gophers' wins list.

The NCAA imposed a seven-year "[[show-cause penalty (NCAA)|show-cause]]" order on Haskins. This meant that he would have to accept sanctions from the NCAA if he ever returned to coaching before the 2007–08 season unless his new employer could convince the NCAA that he'd served his punishment. The penalty was made so severe because Haskins had not only lied about the $3,500 payment, but advised several of the players involved to lie to the NCAA.<ref>{{cite web|title=NCAA Infractions Report - University of Minnesota|publisher=Minnesota Public Radio|date=October 24, 2000  |url=http://news.minnesota.publicradio.org/features/199903/11_newsroom_cheating/infractionsreport.shtml|access-date=2008-07-25}}</ref> Since most schools will not even consider hiring a coach with an outstanding "show-cause" on his record, Haskins was effectively blackballed from collegiate basketball until 2007.

==After coaching==
Haskins did not return to coaching when his show-cause expired. He retired to his {{convert|750|acre|km2|adj=on}} ranch near [[Campbellsville, Kentucky]], where he raises cattle.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.chicagomag.com/core/pagetools.php?url=%2FChicago-Magazine%2FApril-2011%2FFormer-Chicago-Athletes-Where-Are-They-Now-Artis-Gilmore-Ernie-Broglio-Andrea-Jaeger-Luc-Longley-Willie-Gault-and-More%2Findex.php&mode=print |title=Chicago magazine {{!}} Former Chicago Athletes: Where Are They Now?<!-- Bot generated title --> |access-date=2013-03-26 |archive-date=2020-08-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200814030146/http://www.chicagomag.com/core/pagetools.php?url=%2FChicago-Magazine%2FApril-2011%2FFormer-Chicago-Athletes-Where-Are-They-Now-Artis-Gilmore-Ernie-Broglio-Andrea-Jaeger-Luc-Longley-Willie-Gault-and-More%2Findex.php&mode=print |url-status=dead }}</ref> He has also worked as a color commentator for Western Kentucky basketball home games.<ref name="THAMAL"/>
