Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This isn't a parenting self-help book, and it's not a how-to manual on becoming a great player. It's a story. A story of a fire that was burning in the soul of a young basketball player. A story of a coach who built a winning basketball culture that turned a tiny school in Tennessee into one of the most successful and recognized programs in the state. A story of a father who coached his son for 9 straight years... AND THEY STILL TALK. Josh's story is a rare, poignant look through the eyes and heart of the child, the player, the head coach's son. The journey was one filled with exhilarating highs, unexpected and heartbreaking lows, and the life lessons that both father and son learned along the way. Players who read this story will relate to the situations that surround growing up in basketball and be challenged to think outside the box, take an honest, hard look at themselves, and ask one question, "Does what I'm doing line up with who I want to be?" I Played for My Dad for 9 Years, and We Still Talk is an unparalleled look at the treacherous balancing act of fatherhood and coaching. It's not a fairy tale, but a real life account of the upbringing, the empowering, the conflict, and the process that molded a player who got as much enjoyment and learning experiences playing the game as anyone who ever donned a uniform, and the father/coach who made it all possible.
Download or read book I Came As a Shadow written by John Thompson and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2020-12-15 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK The long-awaited autobiography from Georgetown University’s legendary coach, whose life on and off the basketball court threw America’s unresolved struggle with racial justice into sharp relief. John Thompson was never just a basketball coach and I Came As A Shadow is categorically not just a basketball autobiography. After five decades at the center of race and sports in America, Thompson—the iconic NCAA champion, Black activist, and educator—was ready to make the private public at last, and he completed this autobiography shortly before his death in the historically tumultuous summer of 2020. Chockful of stories and moving beyond mere stats (three Final Fours, four-time national coach of the year, seven Big East championships, 97 percent graduation rate), Thompson’s book drives us through his childhood under Jim Crow segregation to our current moment of racial reckoning. We experience riding shotgun with Celtics icon Red Auerbach and coaching NBA Hall of Famers like Patrick Ewing and Allen Iverson. What were the origins of the the phrase “Hoya Paranoia”? You’ll see. And parting his veil of secrecy, Thompson brings us into his negotiation with a D.C. drug kingpin in his players’ orbit in the 1980s, as well as behind the scenes of his years on the Nike board. Thompson’s mother was a teacher who had to clean houses because of racism in the nation's capital. His father could not read or write. Their son grew up to be a man with his own larger-than-life statue in a building that bears his family’s name on a campus once kept afloat by the selling of 272 enslaved Black people. This is a great American story, and John Thompson’s experience sheds light on many of the issues roiling our nation. In these pages, he proves himself to be the elder statesman whose final words college basketball and the country need to hear. I Came As A Shadow is not a swan song, but a bullhorn blast from one of America’s most prominent sons.

Think that's impressive? In four years, he scored a grand total of nine—yes, nine—points. This book will give readers an uncensored and uproarious look inside an elite NCAA basketball program from Titus's unique perspective. In his four years at the end of the bench, Mark founded his wildly popular blog Club Trillion, became a hero to all guys picked last, and even got scouted by the Harlem Globetrotters. Mark Titus is not your average basketball star. This is a wild and completely true story of the most unlikely career in college basketball.

Download or read book Light Blue Reign written by Art Chansky and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2009-10-26 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Light Blue Reign tells inside story of how one of the most successful college basketball programs in the nation was built The 2009-10 NCAA college basketball season marked the 100th anniversary of North Carolina basketball. The UNC Tar Heels have won two NCAA championships since 2005, and own more victories over the last half-century than any other college team. But it wasn't always that way. For most of the first 50 years the team existed at UNC, the sport was an afterthought. That all changed in 1952 with the arrival of Frank McGuire. When Roy Williams and the Tar Heels won the 2005 and 2009 national championships, they could thank Frank McGuire and his protégé, Dean Smith, for starting the tradition of triumph. Art Chansky, who has covered UNC basketball for more than 30 years, constructs an intimate narrative of how three dramatically different coaches built the longest-lasting dynasty in college basketball. The banners of those teams hang in the rafters today, warming the hearts of all those who have worshipped UNC's Light Blue Reign over the last fifty years—and counting. Part history, part centennial celebration, Light Blue Reign is not simply about one team's victories—it's about the dedication, passion, and love for a sport that players and fans of any loyalty will understand.
