 Just bad journalism February 28, 2007
Have you ever had to write a report in school with a minimum length requirement, and instead of gathering more to write about, you stretch what you have to make it large enough? Yeah, apparently that author has done that before, also. It's really not as badly written as some of the reviews would have you believe, but it's no gem, either. I wouldn't recommend this book unless you're really dying to, but in that case you probably know as much about Coach K as Doyel does.
A Sad Attempt At Legitimacy - Zero stars should be an option... September 8, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Is there someone you work with who can never succeed at one job before they promote him to another, circumventing all rationale concerning "the best person for the job"? Gregg Doyel somehow worms his way upward on his career path even though many bloggers - let alone other columnists - are superior writers and investigative journalists. This book confounds the mind. You constantly wonder "how did someone this poor at writing ever get a book published?". My brother gave me this as a Christmas gift. We are both Duke fans and have been since 1972. He had the best of intentions considering the title. However, my brother, who is an accomplished public speaker and teacher, would have vomited upon reading such incomprehensible drivel.

I read the first 10 pages before I fell into a deep, deep sleep. This one is a yawner. Better used as toilet paper than reading material.

If you are reading this review, you probably have never heard of Gregg Doyel. If you had heard of him, you'd probably know without reading this book thats its journalistic garbage. Sort of like his work with cbssportline.com. I wouldn't use the pages of this book to wipe myself with.
