TDR Behind the Scenes
In the course of his research, Matthew Maurer has encountered more than 15 schools whose historic basketball records (such as media guides and player statistics) were destroyed by flood or fire. Many of the lost records date back to the pre-1950s. In the 1980s, one HBCU's entire sports history was completely wiped out.
It took Matthew close to 10 years of research to acquire collegiate stats for Zelmo Beaty. Beaty's original records at Prairie View A&M were destroyed by flood.
