Twenty-five years after it spent sixteen weeks at #1 on the New
York Times bestseller list, John Feinstein's A Season on the Brink
remains the classic of the genre and an unforgettable chronicle of
his year spent following the Indiana Hoosiers and their fiery coach
Bob Knight. This anniversary edition features an updated package
and a new Introduction by Feinstein.
Granted unprecedented access to the Indiana Hoosiers' basketball
program during the 1985-1986 season, John Feinstein saw and heard
it all--practices, team meetings, strategy sessions, and mid-game
huddles--as the team strove to return to championship form. A
Season on the Brink, recently named #6 on Sports Illustrated's "Top
100 Sports Books of All Time" list, not only captures the drama and
pressure of big-time college basketball, but paints a vivid
portrait of a complex, brilliant coach as he walks the fine line
between genius and madness.
Duke University's head basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski has proved
himself a leader both on and off the court. He's led the Duke Blue
Devils to five straight Final Four appearances, culminating in
back-to-back championships in 1991 and '92. He has received five
National Coach of the Year Awards -- and many of the players he
coached in college have gone on to NBA stardom! Now Coach K offers
the insights he uses to coax peak performances from his team,
relying on lessons he learned as a captain in the U.S. Army,
sportsmanship, respect, and a genuine gift for leading with the
heart.
