Editorial Reviews

When Roy Williams talks to a player, they listen. For some reason, coaches with 618-114 lifetime records command attention. (At North Carolina, his slate is an awesome 200-48.) What It Means to Be a Tarheel takes readers into the games and team meetings of one of basketball's greatest dynasties.
