Amateur Basketball?

This article seems like it would be more appropriately focused on the amateur era of black basketball, preceding the rise of the Rens -- who are dealt with in a separate article -- and should be retitled accordingly. The label 'black fives' is a recent invention and not well known. The content seems to follow Kuska's book. Stephensyd (talk) 02:39, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

One section on the Rens with hatlink to that main article. Perhaps that should be subsection of a section on the later period.

The title should fit the whole article (pre-NBA integration?), not its proposed focus (pre-NY Rens). What do you suggest?

(I have made some improvements but I don't know the history or the specific book to make a bigger contribution.) --P64 (talk) 16:44, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
