Jud: A Magical Journey

Rating:
Summary: Before Izzo there was Jud
Review: A must read for any MSU basketball fan. The Book takes you thru Jud's entire career. From his start in Washington as a High School coach, to his days at WSU/Montana, and finally to MSU.

The book is an easy read and hits on almost every year he coached at MSU . It even discusses Mateen as the next great player. Though I don't agree with him on some issues (He thought Scott Skiles should of got a break on his DUI arrest and charge). The book will also give you feel for the turmoil that goes along with being a basketball coach in the Big Ten. From dealing with the Politics of the Administration on Campus, to clearing his name of any wrong doings with Parrish Hickman. The book also states why he stayed an extra two years...

Review: A quick read that will take you through the Jud years at MSU

Summary: A must for all college basketball fans
Review: The book was nicely orgainized with numerous chapters, which all took on a different subject and each read like a long SI feature. It starts with Jud's early years, goes through the Magic Johnson years (with some neat anectdotes) and finishes up having Jud talk about a high school star Mateen Cleaves, who MSU needed to get, which MSU did.

Great book, quick read.
