For some, a return to teachers and classrooms begins in just a few weeks. In celebration, or just acceptance of the inevitable, Hoosier History Live will take a look at some Hoosier educators who made an impact when our host, Nelson Price, is joined by a historian colleague for another of our call-in shows. It so happens that Nelson's co-host,&nbsp;Ray Boomhower&nbsp;of the&nbsp;Indiana Historical Society, had an unlikely driver's ed teacher during a summer session at&nbsp;Mishawaka High School&nbsp;in the late 1970s. More than 20 years earlier,&nbsp;Marvin Wood&nbsp;had been in the spotlight as the coach of&nbsp;Milan High School, the tiny school in southeastern Indiana that captivated the country by winning the state high school basketball championship. The 1954 victory, known as the "Milan Miracle", involved a legendary, buzzer-beating shot by one of Coach Wood's players,&nbsp;Bobby Plump; it served as the inspiration for the classic movie&nbsp;Hoosiers&nbsp;(1986).
