"Players and Pretenders" tells the story of the flip side of
basketball's "March Madness," where the game is played by average
players for love, not for money. At the end of the 1970s at Bard
College, where there was no pretense of institutional support,
Charley Rosen gathered his hoops hopefuls and put together a
basketball season whose impact reached far beyond the court.
Writing with a humorous touch, Rosen details the Running Red
Devils' season, simultaneously examining the lives of those who
made it so memorable and providing a glimpse of how the team
members existed off the courts as both players and pretenders. His
book playfully depicts the 1979-80 basketball season at Bard
College and the "sports for fun" side of the game.
