Book Reviews of 100 Seasons of Duke Basketball: A Legacy of Achievement
Book Review: More than just a story, it's memories
Summary: 5 Stars
In 1905, the coach at Wake Forest proposed that his basketball team play the team from Duke (then called Trinity). Duke didn't have a team, so they organized one, practiced for three weeks and hosted the visiting Wake Forest team. Duke lost 24-10. Thus began the legend.
This book covers that game in some detail, and then covers the coaches and players that have created the legacy. This is an unabashed feel good book. The author has been watching Duke basketball since his freshman year of 1948. This is his third book on Duke basketball. He is a member of the U.S. Basketball writers Hall of Fame.
Summary of 100 Seasons of Duke Basketball: A Legacy of Achievement
No college in America has dominated the basketball scene over the past 20 years like Duke has. The Blue Devils have been to 10 Final Fours under Coach Mike Krzyzewski, winning the national championship three times. They played in five consecutive Final Fours and for four consecutive years finished the season ranked number one in the country. Duke won five consecutive Atlantic Coast Conference championships through 2003, and since 1986, the Blue Devils have had six national players of the year. No other school has had more than one. As Duke enters its 100th season of basketball, it will be the 25th year for Hall of Fame coach Krzyzewski. He has been honored 12 times as national Coach of the Year and is acknowledged as the top man in his profession. Duke has had numerous other famous basketball names, including coaches such as Vic Bubas and Eddie Cameron and All-Americans Dick Groat, Art Heyman, and Jeff Mullins.The Blue Devils play in Cameron Indoor Stadium, which has become a basketball shrine. The vociferous student body, the Cameron Crazies, camp out before home games in a tent city they call Krzyzewski-ville. From the first game in 1906 through yet another Final Four appearance following the 2003-04 season, 100 Years of Duke Basketball provides fans with an insiderĀ?s look at Duke basketball and the people who have made it a national legend.
