Glory Days: Legends of Illinois High School Basketball
Along the way, somebody invented the jump shot and the crossover dribble and added a three-point line. Times changed, the game was integrated, players grew taller and more wildly athletic. That evolution is chronicled in Glory Days, as 50 of the state's best high school basketball players from the past five decades sit down to chat with longtime prep basketball scribe Taylor Bell. Every last one of the featured players was an all-state selection. Some led their teams to state titles; others were chosen as Illinois' Mr. Basketball; many were named McDonald's All-Americans.Glory Days pulls its roster from all regions of the state: from southern Illinois (Edwardsville, Centralia, Mount Vernon) to the state's waist (Galesburg, Peoria, Decatur) to north of I-80 (Rockford, Evanston, and many Chicago schools).Each player on the roster relives his time on the high school hardwood, but also reveals what happened after he walked down the aisle in his cap and gown.

Panther Pride: University of Pittsburgh Men’s Basketball (PA) (Images of Sports)
The University of Pittsburgh first fielded an intercollegiate basketball team in 1905, but an entire generation of fans has only heard or read about a small number of these colorful and outstanding players. An invitation to join the prestigious Big East Conference in 1982 opened the eyes of the nation to Panther basketball. Continuing a tradition of growth and excellence, the 2001ñ2002 Panthers again put University of Pittsburgh basketball on the map. Picked by the league coaches to finish sixth in the seven-team Big East Conferenceís West Division, Ben Howland directed the team to an overall record of 29-6, earning the Panthers the West Division regular-season championship. The Panthers then advanced to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament for the first time in twenty-eight years. ÝÝPanther Pride: University of Pittsburgh Menís Basketball is the pictorial history of Pittsburghís basketball program, before and since the Big East Conference. Well before Dr. Roy Chipman, there was eccentric Doc Carlson. Long before All-American Charles Smith, there was Charley Hyatt. Twenty-eight years before Brandin Knight led his team to the Sweet Sixteen, Billy Knight led another remarkable Panther squad to the Elite Eight. From Motor Square Garden in East Liberty to the Pitt Stadium Pavilion and Fitzgerald Field House in Oakland, Pittsburgh basketball teams have provided their fans with exciting victories and heartbreaking defeats for close to a century.

jim carrol's work brings you into his life of new york city and an addict's fragments of hell. his life story in the basketball diaries tells a tale very few writers could put to page in the way he has; it is a great book in which shows the raw truth on page and recommend to everyone.
Customer Review: CARROLL REVEALS MORE THAN MERELY HIS OLD LIFE
In THE BASKETBALL DIARIES, Jim Carroll not only renders easily imaginable (and easily sympathized with) adversities- insecurity, addiction, melancholy, self-loathing, fear, identity crises- to which thousands of American youths are subjected daily, but demonstrates a vast capacity for proficient writing, the sort which swallows the reader's attention like a shark might devour a minnow and holds it long after the last sentence has been read. A phenomenal work! I enthusiastically recommend it to all. (Also recommended: CATCHER IN THE RYE, by J.D. Salinger; ON THE ROAD, by Jack Kerouac; JOHN BARLEYCORN, by Jack London; CAT'S CRADLE, by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.; THE WOMAN WHO WALKED INTO DOORS, by Roddy Doyle; BIG SUR, by Jack Kerouac.)
