Synopsis

A Tale of Two Seasons contrasts two very different seasons from Naismith Hall-of- Famer Paul Westphal's span of five decades in professional basketball.

One season covers his time as the head coach of the NBA Seattle SuperSonics while the other offers insight into his first coaching job at Southwestern College (now Arizona Christian University.) One paid the highest salary he'd ever earned, while the other paid him nothing. Yet, that one special season with Southwestern is the season he said was his best year in basketball.

His stories about life and basketball, both as a player and a coach, are intertwined with humor, insight, hindsight, and his genuine love for the game.
