Season on the Brink
Season on the Brink | John Feinstein
2 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
A Season on the Brink chronicles the basketball season that John Feinstein spent following the Indiana Hoosiers and their fiery coach, Bob Knight. Knight granted Feinstein an unprecedented inside look at college basketball -- with complete access to every moment of the season. Feinstein saw and heard it all -- practices, team meetings, strategy sessions, and mid-game huddles -- during Knight's struggle to avoid a losing season. A Season on the Brink not only captures the drama and pressure of big-time college basketball but paints a vivid portrait of a complex, brilliant coach walking a fine line between genius and madness.

Season on the Brink | John Feinstein

Similarly to Feinstein's book The Punch, this one is a fascinating read even if you have zero interest in basketball. Bob Knight is one of the most compelling figures in modern American society. The author's fly on the wall narrative embedded with Knight & Indiana for 1 season is just so interesting. In my literary HOF.

Bob Knight is either one of the least or most understood coaches in the modern era.

This book is billed as a modern classic, I hope it lives up to its acclaim.
