Produktbeschreibung
In six decades as a player, assistant coach, and the head man on the bench for Syracuse University's basketball program, Jim Boeheim is synonymous with the blood and thunder of East Coast hoops. In Bleeding Orange, Boeheim recounts for the first time all the pleasures and perils of a career spent battling the "Beasts of the Big East," the NCAA, and his own fear of failure. Coach Boeheim has always been full of life, and his combative nature helped ignite what was arguably the most fascinating and competitive college basketball conference ever?the Big East of the 1980s. Boeheim's battles with fellow coaches turned the Big East into the best show in college basketball. Combining a real-time, inside-the-program account of the 2013?14 season?Syracuse's first in the ACC?with a narrative of his most cherished memories of coming-of-age on the Syracuse campus and of coaching two Olympic gold medal?winning teams, Bleeding Orange is a must-read both for Syracuse fans and anyone who calls himself or herself an aficionado of college basketball history.
