Refuse to Lose

Summary: Perfectly titled. You can feel his intensity.
Review: As a University of Memphis booster involved in some of the details of his hiring, I looked forward to reading this book to see if the coach we hired was a facade or for real. You can't read this book without getting fired up. Obviously a great salesman who is dealing on a higher plain than just "basketball coach". I hope four years from now he writes another book on how he completed the dream by winning the NCAA championship in Memphis.

Learn a lot about the behind the scenes steps necessary to raise a basketball program from the pits to the promised land.

Summary: Excellent portrayal of what a Coach's life is like...
Review: I thought Calipari brought to life the trials that coaches in the ever expanding game of NCAA basketball go through on a daily basis. From recruiting to Final Four appearances, Calipari lets the reader in on what goes on inside the locker room and beyond.
