<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Identifying the sources of Basketball Hall of Fame coach Jim Boeheim’s fierce competitive drive and loyalty to Syracuse, this fascinating study of the record-setting coach details everything from the effects of his small town upbringing in upstate New York to the years the team fell just short of the title. The book examines the people who shaped Boeheim as an individual and a coach, the great players he has led, and his incredible devotion to raising money in hopes of eradicating cancer—which claimed both of his parents' lives and threatened his own. This revised paperback edition includes a section about the tumultuous and exciting 2011–2012 season, in which the Orange dealt with allegations against former assistant Bernie Fine while maintaining the No. 1 rank for several weeks and advancing to the Elite Eight.
