a must for college basketball fans and fans of integrity

This book lets you inside the mind of one of the greatest college basketball coaches of all-time. If you are a basketball fan, the thoughts on coach Wooden and the story about the game of horse with Larry Bird will thrill you. If you are a university of Louisville fan, you will relish in the four chapters about Crum's specific teams at Louisville, including his two NCAA title teams. Names that you had not thought about in years will come flooding back to your mind. A great book about a humble man whose story needs to be told

Crum is a proven winner.

This book details a true winner in sports today. A coach who has won over 600 games and 2 titles but is somewhat unknown-because he never promotes himself. The profit from this book goes to charity and Crum would have it no other way. Read this book and you will see how a true winner approaches life - with humlity and concern for others. Denny is a winner and his legacy will endure. If you think he cannot coach remember this - if Crum went winless over the next four seasons he would still average 20 wins a season for his carear.
