It's a family affair on today's "Current Sports with Al Martin," as Al talks with Maya and Gene Washington about the upcoming documentary Through the Banks of the Red Cedar. The film documents Duffy Daugherty's recruitment of Washington and other African-American players, and the boundaries these players broke down in the college football world. Al also updates listeners on the lawsuit against Michigan State University filed Monday, reading the statement released by MSU. And...Stan Van Gundy of the Detroit Pistons is on the hotseat after the poor results from the 2017-18 season, and Al talks about Van Gundy's job security moving forward.
