"Jackson is a very compelling figure in basketball and Rosen's narrative does him justice. A great read for any hoops fan. Published before the Laker years...so you won't find any juicy Kobe smack. "

" Great book for anyone that loves basketball and isn't afraid of a little in depth discussion of strategy. It doesn't go completely X's and O's, but you do get a pretty good dose of it. An enjoyable quick read. "

" The second half of the book was great it was just a matter of making it to the second half that was the problem. "

" Some okay insights into PJ's coaching philosophy and some merely adequate explanation of the triangle offence. I was left wanting more of both, but I enjoyed the interplay between the two authors and their descriptions of life in basketball. Only for the serious fan, I would guess. "

" Phil Jackson, coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, offers his observations and experiences, including the first championship season he had with the team. I actually abhor the Lakers but I enjoyed reading about the coaching aspect of things. "

" I don't recommend it for anyone who isn't a considerable basketball fan. I was probably about 13 when I read this so I don't have a very vivid recollection of it, but I remember being satisfied with it. I do remember that the potrayal of the progession of the NBA seasons is well done. "
