Summary: Interesting only because Duke Basketball is interesting
Comment: What suprised me was the fact that the author got some of the facts wrong within the first chapter. Doyel later contradicted homself when he got them right in laterchapters. The only thing interesting is the content of the book, but that jumps around from one year to the next and back all in the same sentence. Doyle just spit everything out onto paper and did not worry about the flow of the book. Aweful, the only reason it is interesting is because it is Duke, and Doyle does not have anything to do with that, thank goodness!

Summary: Doyel is the 100% cure for insomnia
Comment: This book was nothing more than a carbon copy of the expanded Duke Basketball media guide. Its like Doyel simply copied numerical factoids out of the ACC statistics books. If I wanted to read a book on numbers I'd dust off my college calculus book. Don't waste your money.

Summary: A tabloid-like read
Comment: While this book has some great moments it also leaves a lot to be desired. It tells the great story of Krzyzewski's boyhood, the values instilled by his parents and his neighborhood friends, his time in the army and the early years with his wife Mickie. It touches on his relationship with Jim Valvano during his loosing battle with cancer. However, way too much of the book reads like a tell-all tabloid article. I suspect that was because Coach K did not participate in this effort and the writer is struggling to get enough material to produce the book. I would recommend Coach K's own "Leading with the Heart".
