This book is a sports book and a book about business and leadership and the lessons learned in a life in intercollegiate athletics administration and in refereeing nearly 4,000 Division I men's college basketball games. It is filled with the lessons learned, steps to improve your own life and great stories that match the leadership lessons that are told. And, it includes dozens of vignettes which describe all sorts of events that take place on the court, in the offices and in the lives of those who work behind the scenes in the college athletic and basketball world. The foreword was written by Mike Krzyzewski, Head Coach at Duke University and the US Olympic Team.
