具体描述

Every year, all across America, the excitement builds as March approaches. Like only a few other sports events - the World Series, the Super Bowl, the World Cup - the games that culminate in the national college basketball championship propel sports fans throughout the country into a frenzy. And nowhere is the rivalry more intesnse than in the nine-team Atlantic Coast Conference, which has long been a breeding ground of basketball superstars (Michael Jordon, Grant Hill, and Kenny Anderson among others) and has sent at least one team into the NCAA's Final Four in fifteen of the last eighteen years. In this widely acclaimed book, John Feinstein takes us behind the scenes of the ACC through an entire unforgettable season. He captures the thrill of the games, the personalities of the players, and, most compellingly, the formidable and surprising challenges that confront the teams' coaches. Feinstein's book is a triumph of sports reporting - a living portrait of how college basketball is coached and played at the highest level.
