"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... Get to know Pete Newell. He truly has had an amazing life." Mike Wise New York Times "Every fan of hoops and hoops history should get this book." Jack McCallum Sports Illustrated "Enlightening and interesting on every page... [Newell] has a wonderful basketball mind, and his story has been told by a wonderful writer." Dan McGrath Chicago Tribune "Count me among the embarrassed legions who only now realize that the greatest unwritten story in basketball was Pete Newell's. Thanks to Bruce Jenkins, it is unwritten no longer." Bob Ryan Boston Globe
