The riveting inside story of college basketball's fiercest
rivalry among three coaching legends—University of North
Carolina's Dean Smith, Duke's Mike Krzyzewski, and North
Carolina State's Jim Valvano—by the king of college
basketball writers, #1 New York Times bestseller John Feinstein On March 18, 1980, the immensely powerful Duke basketball
program announced the hiring of its new coach—the man who
would resurrect the team, restore glory to Duke, and defeat
the legendary Dean Smith, who coached down the road at UNC
Chapel Hill and had turned UNC into a powerhouse. Duke's new
man was Mike Krzyzewski. The only problem was, no one knew
who Krzyzewski was, he had a so-so record in his short time
as head coach of Army, and worst of all, no one could even
pronounce his name. The announcement caused head scratches . . . if not
immediate calls for his head . . . and on this note his
career at Duke began. The table was set nine days later, when on March 27, 1980,
Jim Valvano was hired by North Carolina State to be their
new head coach. The hiring didn't raise as many eyebrows,
but with the exuberant Valvano on board, two new coaches
were now in place to challenge Dean Smith—and the most
sensational competitive decade in history was about to unfold. In the skillful hands of John Feinstein, this extraordinary
rivalry—and the men behind it—come to life in a unique,
intimate way. The Legends Club is a sports book that
captures an era in American sport and culture, documenting
the inside view of a decade of absolutely incredible
competition. Feinstein pulls back the curtain on the
recruiting wars, the intensely personal competition that
wasn't always friendly, the enormous pressure and national
stakes, and the battle for the very soul of college
basketball allegiance in a hot-bed area. Getting to the roots of the NCAA goliath that is followed
religiously by millions of fans today, Feinstein uses his
unprecedented access to all three coaches to paint a
portrait only he could conjure. The Legends Club is destined
to be one of Feinstein's biggest bestsellers.
