Code Talkers

In 1942, the U.S. Marines recruited twenty-nine Navajo men to develop a code that would be used to communicate with American soldiers across the Pacific during World War II.  These men were known as the Navajo Code Talkers.There's something awesome about having a shared passion for basketball. Coaches, players, and fans alike have a special "code" when discussing the game. Coach Ashley Hutchcraft, along with Illustrator Keith L. Petersen, uniquely express and highlight common basketball codes for readers to enjoy as they reflect on their love for the game.
