Product Description
The Patriot League is one of the NCAAs smallest Division I conferences, a group of schools in the Northeast that includes Colgate, Holy Cross, Lafayette, Lehigh, Bucknell, Army, and Navy. No one on these teams leaves college early to join the NBA. None of these coaches gets national recognition or endorsement contracts. The young men on these teams are playing for the love of basketball and of their schools. But every year, the top team from the Patriot League gets into the NCAA Tournament, and though they always lose in the first round, how much they lose by can make a huge difference in the coachs and players lives. This is a look at sport at its purest, written with the intensity, drama, and insight into character that have made bestsellers of John Feinsteins books. Feinstein spent the 1999 season with the players on the Patriot League teams. As always, his reporting and stories are as current as possible. Feinstein is a commentator on NPR/Morning Edition and writes columns for the Washington Post Sunday Magazine and Golf. There are more than 1.3 million copies of John Feinsteins books in print.
