Jimmy Black's Tales from the Tar Heels

This is a great book all fans of UNC basketball will enjoy. Jimmy does a great job of sharing an "inside" look of that championship team!

great for nostalgia

super insider information gives a real life perspective to players and team--great book for UNC and basketball enthusiasts

How 'bout dem Heels!

If you graduated from UNC in 1982, this is second only to the Bible as the best book you'll ever read. If you're a Tarheel, this is a MUST HAVE! Scott Fowler's (of Charlotte Observer fame) writing is the best. Jimmy "Bossman" Black proves he can write as well as he can lead a championship team. How 'bout dem Heels, they are the NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!

The Year of the Tar Heels

A pleasure to read. As a Tar Heel who knew Jimmy, I am not surprised by the candidness and honesty of his writings. The '81-'82 Tar Heels were an amazing team. Jimmy's book provides a personal perspective that brought back many memories. Any fan of college basketball should read this.
