About the Book

For the first time, Hall of Fame NBA basketball coach Larry Brown details his most memorable coaching moments, his relationships with all-star players, and the deep love of the game that drove his remarkable career.

Hall of Fame NBA basketball coach Larry Brown is the only coach to ever win both an NCAA and NBA title. From his early playing days in college and the ABA to stints coaching across the country at various Universities and Professional basketball cities, Larry has lived a true basketball life.

Now, for the first time, Larry shares the story of his colorful career. An entertaining “romp” filled with fascinating characters, including the tension and triumphs with the likes of Allen Iverson as well as moments and relationships with all-star players and coaches like Dean Smith, Reggie Miller, Danny Manning and many others.  

“It’s funny. You spend your whole life chasing wins, and you fool yourself into believing that’s what matters. Then you come to the end of your life, and you realize that what’s really important are the friends you made along the way, and how you tried to influence their lives in a positive way – and how they did the same for you.” —Larry Brown
