Identifying the sources of Basketball Hall of Fame coach Jim Boeheim's
fierce competitive drive and loyalty to Syracuse, this fascinating study
of the record-setting coach details everything from the effects of his
small town upbringing in upstate New York to the years the team fell
just short of the title. The book examines the people who shaped Boeheim
as an individual and a coach, the great players he has led, and his
incredible devotion to raising money in hopes of eradicating
cancer--which claimed both of his parents' lives and threatened his own.
This revised paperback edition includes a section about the tumultuous
and exciting 2011-2012 season, in which the Orange dealt with
allegations against former assistant Bernie Fine while maintaining the
No. 1 rank for several weeks and advancing to the Elite Eight.
