Boasting six national championships and scores of Hall of Fame
coaches and players, Carolina Basketball has come a long way from
the first season--when the campus newspaper published a notice
asking an unknown culprit to return the team's basketball. These
pages are packed with little-known stories from the program's
earliest days and new insights into its best-loved moments. All the
greats are here, from Jack Cobb and the ""Blind Bomber"" George
Glamack to Lennie Rosenbluth, Phil Ford, James Worthy, Michael
Jordan, Antawn Jamison, and Tyler Hansbrough. Lucas reveals the
meaning of the ""Carolina family"" and the origins and evolution of
Tar Heel traditions that have made North Carolina one of the
premier teams in men's college basketball. These stories are
brought to life with more than 175 color and black-and-white
photos; a foreword by Hall of Fame coach Dean Smith and an
afterword by fellow Hall of Famer Roy Williams; and an appendix of
records and statistics. Some 25 sidebars feature first-person
recollections from prominent players, including Rosenbluth, Ford,
and Jordan; opposing coaches like Lefty Driesell; and famous alumni
like Peter Gammons and Alexander Julian. This is the must-have book
for Tar Heel fans and college basketball lovers everywhere.
