I highly recommend it to any basketball fan.

The Great Santini was one of our faves at ND *

wedding. We were staying in a hotel across the street from the Citadel. I was finishing My Losing Season by Conroy about his abusive basketball coach while at the Citadel. In the epilogue he described what happened to each of the characters. It turns out his coach left the next year and relocated to Richmond, IN where he opened a restaurant. The weird part? I live in Richmond, In. So I was across the street from the Citadel reading about a guy who left the Citadel to go to my hometown. Odd. Btw, his restaurant was destroyed when our downtown exploded 2 days after MLK was killed.
