Reviews
"The book is one of [John Feinstein's] best, a beguilingly personal, sometimes heartbreaking look at the psychic cost of doing battle in America's most brutally, nakedly competitive (and actual) arenas. It makes a fitting bookend to the author's first, "A Season on the Brink" (1986), his hair-raising exposé of Indiana coach Bobby Knight, expletives included."      --The Wall Street Journal "A compelling story of the complex relationships and backyard rivalries of the three coaches who dominated college basketball during the 1980s and early '90s...Feinstein's relationship with all three coaches gave him the intimate details that form the backbone of the book. One story leads quickly to another story in this fast-moving account of a memorable era in college basketball. Dating back to Feinstein's first interview with Smith, this book was nearly 40 years in the making. It was worth the wait, because it is one of Feinstein's best."       --Chicago Tribune "Feinstein entertains readers with fair, objective observations based on fact and his unique inside access gained not only through years of his coverage but also through many new interviews with former players, coaches and administrators...In a famous speech before he died, Valvano implored all of us to attempt to do three things each day: laugh, think and cry. He would be pleased with "The Legends Club" because it will evoke all three from readers, no matter where their college basketball allegiances lie."      --The Washington Post   "The legends are right there in the subtitle: Dean Smith, Mike Krzyzewski, Jim Valvano, and an Epic College Basketball Rivalry. The unbilled fourth legend is the author. His longstanding relationships with the principals give the book its insider appeal; his history with each man goes back decades, and the intersecting, layered looks at each are built on firsthand knowledge...Funny and smart."      --USA Today "Duke, UNC and N.C. State fans might quibble about the details, as they always do, Feinstein faithfully captures a rivalry that will remain a legend in sports."      --BookPage From the Hardcover edition., "The book is one of [John Feinstein's] best, a beguilingly personal, sometimes heartbreaking look at the psychic cost of doing battle in America's most brutally, nakedly competitive (and actual) arenas.

The book is crammed with enough minutia and fresh anecdotes about the three competing coaches to satisfy any basketball junkie." -- Lincoln Journal Star    "The author informs his narrative with myriads of interviews with all of his principals--and with those who have survived them--and enriches all with his deep knowledge and love of the game. He navigates through the murky waters of recruiting and explains how certain rules have affected the game--e.g., the 45-second shot clock, the fairly recent NBA ruling that forbids young men to enter the draft right out of high school. A text that will delight college basketball fans." -- Kirkus   "Feinstein's long history with these coaches gives him intimate knowledge of his subjects, allowing him to provide an insider's perspective that likely will be new even to ACC aficionados." -- Publishers Weekly

Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The riveting inside story of college basketball's fiercest rivalry among three coaching legends--University of North Carolina's Dean Smith, Duke's Mike Krzyzewski, and North Carolina State's Jim Valvano--by the king of college basketball writers. "One of Feinstein's best."-- Chicago Tribune On March 18, 1980, the Duke basketball program announced the hiring of Mike Krzyzewski, the man who would restore glory to the team. The only problem: no one knew who Krzyzewski was. Nine days later, Jim Valvano was hired by North Carolina State to be their new head coach. The hiring didn't raise as many eyebrows, but the two new coaches had a similar goal: to unseat North Carolina's Dean Smith as the king of college basketball. And just like that, the most sensational competitive decade in history was about to unfold. In the skillful hands of John Feinstein, The Legends Club captures an era in American sport and culture, documenting the inside view of a decade of absolutely incredible competition. Feinstein pulls back the curtain on the recruiting wars, the intensely personal competition that wasn't always friendly, the enormous pressure and national stakes, and the battle for the very soul of college basketball., On March 18, 1980, the Duke basketball program announced the hiring of Mike Krzyzewski, the man who would restore glory to the team.

    The first pie plate although wrapped by multitude layers of bubble wrap, arrived in pieces. The replacement plate arrived today in condition as described. This seller went above and beyond in getting me what I ordered. Will be a repeat buyer

    It was delivered in a timely manner. It was wrapped in a huge amount of bubble wrap and was not damaged in shipping. It does however have two chips one in each side. I don’t remember seeing that in the description.
