Summary: This game's the best, why not write a good book about it?
Comment: I like basketball. I think Karl can coach. I don't think he wrote a good book. Maybe the problem is his agent or the publisher, because there isn't enough substance here to fill a pamphlet let alone a book written by a pro coach with "insights" into the game. The book is principally a look back on George's most successful seasons with the Sonics (he now coaches the Bucks). As for his questioning the "screwing around" with the game, his questioning doesn't kick in until the book is nearly over and the "questioning" is broad and nearly worthless. I was expecting some opinionated material as to the state of the game, its marketing, the officiating (spelled: no travelling calls, no palming calls, no 3 second calls and the blatant protection by the refs of such stars as Jordan and Shaq). Again, I suspect some marketing exec or George's personal agent suggested this book. George should have ignored them. If you can't tell it like it is while you're in the game, then wait until you're out of the game and then let 'er rip. George's book belongs at the far end of the bench.

Summary: Questionable "facts"
Comment: George Karl as a coach in the NBA has a great deal of influence on the careers of any young man the he deals with. It is really too bad that he chooses to be creative when he decides to pass along information about one of them. One paticular incident in the book is about my son and me. His recollection of this incident is so far from what actually happened that I had to read it several times to believe what was written. It is just too bad that a man of this stature decides to be so petty.
