Synopsis

If you are someone who remembers with great nostalgia the old crackerbox basketball gyms of Kansas---those with overhanging balconies, the wall for out of bounds, 3 rows of seats---if you get misty-eyed every time you see HOOSIERS, then this is for you. This book is a collection of 51 stories with 150 pictures of antique gyms built before 1950, with an old coach, player, or person in the gym. It tells stories of small town personalities and Hall-of-Famers like Dean Smith, Ralph Miller, Roy Williams and others. This is an unforgettable book that you will not be able to put down.
