Synopsis

THE MEN WHO MADE MARCH

From its humble beginnings in 1895 to its modern-day dominance over American culture for the entire month of March, college basketball is often called madness and is well-deserving of the title. Most NCAA basketball coaches fail; however, the special few profiled in this book didn’t just succeed where others failed, they influenced the game; changed it; and altered its very course.
The ten men featured in this anthology went about coaching differently, each bringing their own approach and mindset to the hardwood, and their success is unprecedented:

  • John Wooden (UCLA)
  • Bobby Knight (Indiana University)
  • Adolph Rupp (University of Kentucky)
  • Dean Smith (University of North Carolina)
  • Phog Allen (University of Kansas)
  • Mike Krzyzewski (Duke University)
  • Jerry Tarkanian (UNLV)
  • Jim Boeheim (Syracuse University)
  • Lou Carnesecca (St. John’s University)
  • Jim Calhoun (University of Connecticut)
  • "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

    About the Author

    Laura Amato is an upstate New York native and a graduate of St. John’s University. A freelance sports journalist and first-time author, she’s watched more college basketball games than she’s willing to admit and has spent a considerable amount of time in the Madison Square Garden press room. She now lives in New York City with her husband, and while she loves nothing more than March Madness, iced caramel lattes, well-cultivated music playlists and the New York Rangers are close behind.
