"The organization of a highly skilled, handpicked LDS missionary team called the Mormon Yankees ushered in a new era of accelerated interest in both the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and basketball during the mid-twentieth century in Australia. It was a peak during the 1950s and the names of the players from that era are still recalled with affection by Australians to this day. This team consisted of tremendous talent, especially in their player-coach, Elder Loren C. Dunn." [Author]
