<P style=&#34;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&#34; class=MsoNormal>Identifying the sources of Basketball Hall of Fame coach Jim Boeheim&#8217;s fierce competitive drive and loyalty to Syracuse, this fascinating study of the record-setting coach details everything from the effects of his small town upbringing in upstate New York to the years the team fell just short of the title.&#160;The book examines the people who shaped Boeheim as an individual and a coach, the great players he has led, and his incredible devotion to raising money in hopes of eradicating cancer&#8212;which claimed both of his parents&#39; lives and threatened his own. This revised paperback edition includes a section about the tumultuous and exciting 2011&#8211;2012 season, in which the Orange dealt with allegations against former assistant Bernie Fine while maintaining the No. 1 rank for several weeks and advancing to the Elite Eight.
