Book Reviews of The Best Game Ever: How Frank McGuire's '57 Tar Heels Beat Wilt and Revolutionized College Basketball
Book Review: SUBTITLE OF BOOK COULD BE THE FRANK MCGUIRE STORY
Summary: 5 Stars
It is a very good book that will appeal to anyone who remembers the Roche era at South Carolina from 1969 to 1971. The book provides a good look at McGuire's coaching style that no longer exists in college basketball.
North Carolina fans of the McGuire years will enjoy the background and current status of the national championship team, and provides details of almost every game of the NCAA championship team.
Though, there are only a couple of references to McGuire career at South Carolina, the book would be interesting to anyone that remembers his South Carolina teams from 1964-1973 and how similar they were built to the North Carolina model.
The best and only book, to my knowledge, covering McGuire's years at South Carolina is called "Roundball Culture" and is very good. However, it is very hard to find and the price exceeds $ 100.00. It does provide a detailed look inside McGuire's years at South Carolina giving equal attention to each the sixteen years.
