About This Item
Berkeley, California:: Frog Ltd, 1999.. 1st Printing.. Hardbound . BINDING/CONDITION: brown binding; a Very Good book, with a Very Good dust jacket.. 8vo (9.25 inches tall) . Coaching record, index. Description: Includes a few black and white photo illustrations. The publisher's blurb reads: ''Takes you back to the smoky haze of Madison Square Garden in the 1950s, when college basketball was king. It transports you to a dead-quiet high school gym in Hawaii, where Shaquille O'Neal is quietly listening to a legend. The Pete Newell story, told with great detail and affection by Bruce Jenkins, is a portrayal of a great man who just happens to be a basketball lifer. It is about a coach from a much simpler time, whose wisdom is as contemporary as it is old. For several years, John Wooden could not beat him. Before UCLA ever mattered, he brought respect to West Coast basketball. Before Magic spun the world on his fingertip, Newell brought Kareem Abdul-Jabar to the Lakers. He taught the game as much as he taught life's lessons. Historically he barely received credit for either.''
