Book Description

Mike Krzyzewski is the preeminent college basketball coach of his generation. He has led Duke to three national titles and his Blue Devils are consistently ranked among the top teams in the nation. In Coach K's Little Blue Book, Krzyzewski is revealed as more than a basketball strategist. He is a motivator, mentor, leader, and deep thinker with an intuitive feel for the game. He offers fascinating insight into such former Duke stars as Grant Hill and Christian Laettner, opponents such as Michael Jordan and Vince Carter, as well as rival hall-of-fame coaches Bobby Knight and John Wooden. In sharing Coach K's views on winning, teamwork, family, leadership and, what Krzyzewski calls, the game of life, author Barry Jacobs unearths the passion, intelligence and humanity that have made Krzyzewski a national icon.
