Jack O'Brien is a high school basketball coach extreme in both his
demands and his devotion. With monastic discipline, he has built a
powerhouse program that wins state championships year after year
while helping propel players to college. He does this as a white
suburban guy working exclusively with black city boys who make the
daily trek across Boston to attend Charlestown High School, where
the last battles of the city's school desegregation wars were
fought a generation ago. The Assist is a gripping, surprising story
about fathers, sons, and surrogates, all confronting the narrow
margins of urban life. The book follows the players on their hunt
for a state title. But it also stays with them, to see how young
men who seldom get second chances survive without their coach
hovering over them,and how he survives without them.
