a nice collection of stories and suggestions centered on various "keywords for success" - adaptability, commitment, excellence, integrity, trust, etc. Krzyzewski uses these words with his own teams and here communicates how various words and concepts can be used in various settings - business, home, family, etc. nothing groundbreaking, but a nice reminder.

Coach K gives us words to live by. Lots of basketball talk with some family stories thrown in. Enjoyable.

Ball quite literally IS life

Quick, simple read. Slides in the middle of my list of “books on integrity written by college bball coaches now pretty well busted for cheating and paying players.”

All of these lessons about basketball are lessons about anything one does in life; ergo ball is life.
