"Coach,

 WOW! Coach you're  a great writer!! I'm on chapter 6, and so far its
 great. This book is motivating and it teaches me a lot of things.

 You have a lot of tips I like in the chapter were you describe ANY
 advantage a player can get. Like a dead spot in the floor, if the rims
 are tight or loose, where's the walls, where's the shot clocks, or
 scoreboards?  I would have never thought of that!

 Your book is educational for basketball and life.

 I love the way the book is formatted with the pictures, then the " My
 Life" (part) then "Your Hoops" makes it easy to read, and it
 makes a lot of sense but it has so much valuable information. Thank
 you."

"I really enjoyed your book, it is very inspirational with a lot of what I call knowledge nuggets.  It's an easy read...  I think the book is written where both adults and kids can enjoy and get something out of it.  Great Book!"

"HoopLife goes beyond the X's and O's and deals with the issues that are really important in basketball, as well as life - character, commitment and court savvy.  Every young player who is serious about reaching "the next level" should read this book."
