The strong take from the weak, but the smart take from the strong. So said Pete Carrils father, a Spanish immigrant who worked for thirtynine years in a Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, steel mill. His son stood only fivefootsix but nonetheless became an AllState basketball player in high school, a Little AllAmerican in college, and a highly successful coach. After twentynine years as Princeton Universitys basketball coach, he became an assistant coach with the NBAs Sacramento Kings. In 1997 he was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.Coach Carril inspired his teams with his own strength of character and drive to win, and he demonstrated time and again how a smart and dedicated team could compete successfully against bigger programs and faster, stronger, more athletic players.His teams won thirteen conference championships, made eleven NCAA Tournament appearances, and led the nation in defense fourteen times. Throughout his reflections on a lifetime spent on the basketball court and the bench, Carril demonstrates deep respect for the contest, his empathy and engagement with the players, humility with his own achievements, a pragmatic vision of discipline and fundamentals, and an enduring joy in the game.This is an inspiring and wonderful book, even for those who never made a basket.
