The Last Dance





" The Last Dance " is the most important weekend in college basketball, it is full of upsets, heartbreakers, but most importantly the one true champion of college basketball will be crowned. This dance is only a few weeks away and i wanted to reflect on some background of the past champions along with some of the players and coaches whose hearts and wills brought all of these great moments and memories in college basketball possible. There is a book that i am currently reading that describes these moments in great detail, the introduction to this book is done by one of the most successful coaches in the history of college sports, Coach K, the coach of the Duke blue devils (the best team ever ) he has taken the blue devils to 10 final four ( last dance) appearences and has been crowned national champions 3 of those 10 times, this is an absolutly amazing feat that no other coach can say they have done. He describes the Heartbreak that one of his colleagues faced multiple times, Roy Williams he also gives a look at what he does when he doesn't get the chance to go to the final four. I don't want to give away the whole book, so ill let you read it for yourself, but it does go on and tell the stories of many coaches and players. I recomend it to anyone who loves college sports. The book is called The Last Dance and is written by John Feinstein.

I'll try the book, but I'm not much into the sporty books that much. :)
