Summary Documents the fierce 1980s rivalry among the coaching legends behind the University of North Carolina, Duke and North Carolina State, detailing Krzyzewski's controversial hire, the covert recruiting wars that shaped each team and the national pressure that complicated their leadership methods.
"The Legends Club is a sports book that captures an era in American sport and culture, documenting the inside view of a decade of absolutely incredible competition. Feinstein pulls back the curtain on the recruiting wars, the intensely personal competition that wasn't always friendly, the enormous pressure and national stakes, and the battle for the very soul of college basketball allegiance in a hot-bed area. Getting to the roots of the NCAA goliath that is followed religiously by millions of fans today, Feinstein uses his unprecedented access to all three coaches to paint a portrait only he could conjure."--Provided by publisher.
