Bob Huggins: Pressed for Success FROM THE PUBLISHER
One of college basketball's most successful coaches reveals to the public a side only those who know him get to see, the down-to-earth small-town kid who can be downright shy with those he doesn't know, a man who smiles often and freely away from the spotlight, while loving to regale with anecdotes of his basketball and life experiences over a good cigar.
Huggins chronicles how he turned around the University of Cincinnati program, with never-before revealed details of how he attracted recruits such as NBA players Nick Van Exel, Corie Blount, and Dontonio Wingfield. From his first meeting with the holdover players who filled him in on what they thought the program needed to his first game when the team upset Minnesota, from the disappointment of the NIT berths to his insights on the Final Four season to his final words on the 1994-95 season, the many sides of Huggins' personality come through. He addresses all of the questions that have surrounded him over the years, who he is and why you may not know him, and how he got where he is.
