coach and is sure he has all the answers. But the novice coach has
a lot to learn and he learns it all the hard way. This learning
leads him to the 10 Golden Nuggets, which hold the secrets to
earning the Golden Whistle - success in basketball coaching and,
more important, in life. When you engage the teachings of the
Golden Nuggets as Little K did, you'll find that you can improve

of Russell Grieger, a starting guard, and his observations,
feelings, reactions, and struggles of that season. It provides a
game-by-game look into the team, showcasing Grieger's teammates,
Coach Arad McCutchan, and Evansville's love for the Aces. The
Perfect Season is an insider's inspiring story of a team whose
motto-"If you're going to go, go big time or don't go at
all"-inspired them to achieve their dream.
I was a friendly dictator for forty seven years. In those forty
seven years I filled more then forty notebooks with my experiences,
ideas, thoughts, readings, materials collected from basketball
clinics, information taken from other professionals (clergy,
coaches, teachers, writers, etc.), motivational materials, and more
with the intent of some day writing a book about what it entails to
be a friendly dictator (head basketball coach)
How an Amateur-Based Basketball Company Is Making a Positive Impact
on People, Communities, and Businesses and How You Can Too
Will lightning ever strike twice? Can David beat Goliath a second
time? These questions haunt everyone in the small town of Milan,
Indiana, whose basketball team inspired Hoosiers, the greatest
underdog sports movie ever made. From a town of just 1,816
residents, the team remains forever an underdog, but one with a
storied past that has them eternally frozen in their 1954 moment of
glory. Every ten years or so, Milan has a winning season, but for
the most part, they only manage a win or two each year. And still,
perhaps because it's the only option for Milan, the town believes
that the Indians can rise again. Bill Riley follows the modern day
Indians for a season and explores how the Milan myth still
permeates the town, the residents, and their high level of
expectations of the team. Riley deftly captures the camaraderie
between the players and their coach and their school pride in being
Indians. In the end, there are few wins or causes for
celebration-there is only the little town where basketball is king
and nearly the whole town shows up to watch each game. The legend
of Milan and Hoosiers is both a blessing and a curse.
