Since the inception of the Atlantic Coast Conference, intense
rivalries, legendary coaches, gifted players, and fervent fans have
come to define the league's basketball history. In ACC Basketball,
J. Samuel Walker traces the traditions and the dramatic changes
that occurred both on and off the court during the conference's
rise to a preeminent position in college basketball between 1953
and 1972. Walker vividly re-creates the action of nail-biting games
and the tensions of bitter recruiting battles without losing sight
of the central off-court questions the league wrestled with during
these two decades. As basketball became the ACC's foremost
attraction, conference administrators sought to field winning teams
while improving academic programs and preserving academic
integrity. The ACC also adapted gradually to changes in the postwar
South, including, most prominently, the struggle for racial justice
during the 1960s. ACC Basketball is a lively, entertaining account
of coaches' flair (and antics), players' artistry, a major
point-shaving scandal, and the gradually more evenly matched
struggle for dominance in one of college basketball's strongest
conferences.
