Mike Krzyzewski is the preeminent college basketball coach of his generation. He has led Duke to three national titles and his Blue Devils are consistently ranked among the top teams in the nation. In Coach K's Little Blue Book, Krzyzewski is revealed as more than a basketball strategist. He is a motivator, mentor, leader, and deep thinker with an intuitive feel for the game. He offers fascinating insight into such former Duke stars as Grant Hill and Christian Laettner, opponents such as Michael Jordan and Vince Carter, as well as rival hall-of-fame coaches Bobby Knight and John Wooden. In sharing Coach K's views on winning, teamwork, family, leadership and, what Krzyzewski calls, the game of life, author Barry Jacobs unearths the passion, intelligence and humanity that have made Krzyzewski a national icon.

Contributions by Amy Bass, Ashley Farmer, Sarah K. Fields, Billy Hawkins, Kurt Edward Kemper, Michael E. Lomax, and David K. Wiggins In Sports and the Racial Divide, Volume II: A Legacy of African American Athletic Activism, Michael E. Lomax and Billy Hawkins draw together essays that examine evolving attitudes about race, sports, and athletic activism in the US. A follow-up to Lomax’s Sports and the Racial Divide: African American and Latino Experience in an Era of Change, this second anthology links post–World War II African American protest movements to a range of contemporary social justice interventions. Athlete activists have joined the ongoing pursuit for Black liberation and self-determination in a number of ways. Contributors examine some of these efforts, including the fight for HBCUs to enter the NCAA basketball tournament; Harry Edwards and the boycott of the 1968 Olympic Games; and US sporting culture in the post-9/11 era. Essays also detail topics like the protest efforts of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick; the link between the Black Power movement and the current Black Lives Matter movement; and the activism of athletes like Lebron James and Naomi Osaka. Collectively, these essays reveal a historical narrative in which African Americans have transformed the currency of athletic achievement into impactful political capital.
