It's the mom-and-pop store that has become a national franchise.
The most renowned player in school history grew up three blocks
from the cozy campus, yet the program has grown into a perennial
top 25 power with a coast-to-coast following even if those casual
fans still mangle the name. It's Gonzaga University "Gon-zag-a" as
in "Zags," the endearment that has overtaken "Bulldogs" as the
school's athletic ID. There are many Bulldogs, but only a few Zags.
There are many Zags stories, however, and fans will find the
essence of this college basketball phenomenon in Tales from the
Gonzaga Bulldogs Locker Room. For readers who only know Gonzaga as
the school that launched John Stockton toward the Basketball Hall
of Fame and later rewrote the concept of being an NCAA Tournament
Cinderella, this anecdotal anthology will fill in the blanks. The
book focuses on a variety of names and events, like the "Tall Gaul"
seven-foot-three Frenchman Jean Claude Lefebvre; the year the Zags
actually pulled their "sixth man" out of the stands; and Frank
Burgess, the future judge who led the nation in scoring. These
stories are all a part of the little-known legacy that led to the
modern-day heroics of Dan Dickau, Richie Frahm, Blake Stepp, and
many others. Fans will meet them all, along with numerous other
unforgettable characters, in this reissue of Tales from the Gonzaga
Bulldogs Locker Room. Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Sports
