Season on the Brink

De: John Feinstein

Narrado por: John Feinstein

Decades after it spent weeks at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list, A Season on the Brink remains the most celebrated basketball book ever written—an unforgettable chronicle of his year spent following the Indiana Hoosiers and their fiery coach Bob Knight.

Granted unprecedented access to legendary coach Bob Knight and the Indiana Hoosiers during the 1985–86 season, John Feinstein saw and heard it all—practices, team meetings, strategy sessions, and midgame huddles—as the team worked to return to championship form. The result is an unforgettable chronicle that not only captures the drama and pressure of big-time college basketball but also paints a vivid portrait of a complex, brilliant coach as he walks the fine line between genius and madness. This anniversary edition features an updated Introduction by Feinstein.

Full access to a college basketball team and coach 36 years ago was unheard of.

I have read this book at least I will say 15 to 20 times. I never get tired of listening to this book I did not know this stuff went on. It is one of my all-time favorite books.

Fantastic...Take It From A Hoosier!

As an Indiana native and a life long Hoosier fan, I have always refused to get this book. I am sorry I waited so long. It is not a bash Indiana and Bob Knight book. It is a straightforward honest look at an iconic program and coach...all of it is here: good, bad, and ugly. Above all—excitement and pride.

Great

Whether you like Bob night or not this is a fantastic basketball book. I’ve had it for several years on audio and listen to it at least twice a year. Of course this coincides with my sons basketball teams when they begin to play.

Go Big Red!!

a must for any Bob Knight or Indiana University fan...RIP The General and thank you for the memories

Fantastic

Great story. Loved the inside story on BK and the complexity of the great coach.
