Customer Reviews

Excellent portrayal of what a Coach's life is like...

I thought Calipari brought to life the trials that coaches in the ever expanding game of NCAA basketball go through on a daily basis. From recruiting to Final Four appearances, Calipari lets the reader in on what goes on inside the locker room and beyond.

Perfectly titled. You can feel his intensity.

As a University of Memphis booster involved in some of the details of his hiring, I looked forward to reading this book to see if the coach we hired was a facade or for real. You can't read this book without getting fired up. Obviously a great salesman who is dealing on a higher plain than just "basketball coach". I hope four years from now he writes another book on how he completed the dream by winning the NCAA championship in Memphis.Learn a lot about the behind the scenes steps necessary to raise a basketball program from the pits to the promised land.
