What do you want to be when you grow up? "You can be anything you
want to be" "Do something that you love" "Don't take no for an
answer" "Find your passion and pursue it" "You have to be happy in
what you do..". These are examples of some of the advice we
received growing up, while contemplating our life's pursuits. This
book explores one man's journey; as he literally took that advice
to heart, left a promising career in radio & television, and
with no safety net, made a giant leap of faith to become a
professional basketball coach. As this coaching neophyte attempts
to navigate the scurrilous underbelly of professional basketball,
he encounters a number of fascinating characters along the way.
Some of whom shape his journey and others who impede it. He becomes
a fly on the wall to the swirling world around him and reports his
voyage as it takes him from the comfortable suburbs of the Pacific
Northwest, across the US and back; from the shanty's of Kingston,
Jamaica all the way to the heaving streets of Central China. Is
Rick Turner just a gullible and naive fool, trying to fight against
the well established cliche of: it's not what you know but who you
know? Or is he a romantic dreamer who, by his pursuit, can possibly
inspire others that may be hesitant to chase their own passion and
realize that the journey can often be more important then the
destination?
