Five banners : inside the Duke basketball dynasty / John Feinstein.
"Five Banners tells the inside story of Duke University's five NCAA Men's Basketball championships, from the first against Kansas in 1991 through the most recent championship in 2015 against a formidable Wisconsin team. Bestselling author and Duke University alumnus John Feinstein explores a basketball legacy that begins with his days as an undergrad Duke Chronicle reporter covering Coach Bill Foster and ends with John Scheyer's succeeding Hall of Fame Coach Mike Krzyzewski. Feinstein was present during the entirety of Coach Krzyzewski's 42 years at Duke. We experience the dual approaches of building a program with players who stayed four years and developed their game all the way through to the "One and Done" era we now inhabit. He covers all five of Duke's national championships (1991, 1992, 2001, 2010, 2015) and the "drought years" leading up to them. The voices of players such as Grant Hill, Nolan Smith, Christian Laettner, Tommy Amaker, and Bobby Hurley bring new insights to those championship moments. Feinstein takes the reader on a mesmerizing ride inside the locker room, into the tunnel and onto the court in this work combining new interviews with the unique perspective of someone who relishes an argument. In doing so, he unveils the experiential force of college basketball as a game of intense relationships, intimate conversations and both physical and emotional power."-- Provided by publisher.
