Beschrijving

Auriemma is one of the most successful college basketball coaches in the history of the sport, yet he is never mentioned in the same sentence as Dean Smith or Mike Krzyzewski.  
The reason? Auriemma coaches women's basketball at the University of Connecticut.  
 
In this revealing autobiography, written with the help of Boston Globe reporter MacMullan, Auriemma tells a version of the classic immigrant's journey.  
His parents immigrated to the U.S. from Italy when he was seven. He was the new kid, the kid who talked funny, and the poor kid.  
He has been catching up ever since.  
 
Like all successful coaches, he drives his players very hard, but unlike many - he seems to be universally admired by his former players.  
He manages to convey his investment in his players' growth as human beings, not just as basketball players.  
 
In addition to telling his own story, Auriemma reflects insightfully on the growth of women's basketball.
