A native of the Bronx and longtime pal of basketball guru Phil
Jackson, CHARLEY ROSEN led the league in technical
fouls during each of his six years as a coach in the now-defunct
Continental Basketball Association. Since then he has become the
world’s foremost writer of fiction and nonfiction on the subject of
basketball, chronicling the drama that takes place both on and off
the court. His many novels include The House of Moses
All-Stars, a New York Times Notable Book, and Sammy
Wong: All-American. His non-fiction works include The Scandals
of ’51: How the Gamblers Almost Killed College
Basketball and More than a Game, with Phil Jackson. Rosen
is an analyst for hoopshype.com and a devotee of the Triangle
Offense. He lives in Accord, NY.
PHIL JACKSON is a seven-time world champion NBA coach (six
times with Chicago, once with Los Angeles). He currently serves as
the President of Basketball Operations for the New York Knicks.
“This affectionate look at life in the basketball minor leagues is
enlivened by real-life details from a coach who's been there. Mr.
Rosen skillfully induces the reader to join 'the Brotherhood of the
Sacred Hoop.” –The New York Times
“Action-packed . . . poignant . . . peppered with trenchant
observations on college and pro basketball, media hype and life in
the minors.” –Publishers Weekly
