Hi My name is Boswell Hemmerich. Coach K can do no wrong. This book goes over how Duke calls each player's name with one syllable instead of two or even three - for example, Chris Duhon is known as 'Chris' instead of 'Chris-Duh-on' and Shelden Williams is 'Shel' instead of 'Shel-den'. This is why Duke and Coach K and this book are nuber 1!!!

I got this book thinking it might give me some insight into how Coach K motivates his teams, organizes his practice sessions, and instills leadership qualities in his athletes. What I got was a less than thrilling re-hash of some of his best quotes as seen through the eyes of a local news reporter. You'd have to be a true Blue Devil fan to like this book. I didn't, so I gave it to one of my co-workers who graduated from Duke. He likes it.

What an awesome book! I would compare this book to Rick Pitino's "Success is a Choice". Much of this book can be used as a guide for how somebody should conduct themselves in relationships. Basketball fans will love this book, as it uses examples from Coach K's life to illustrate points that he makes. Pick it up.
