Paperback. Condición: Good. Almost a generation ago, a small school from the Northwest made its first noise in college basketball. For the first time, the Gonzaga Bulldogs won games in the NCAA tournament of 1999, going all the way to the Elite Eight. Then they validated their arrival with Sweet 16 appearances the next two years. Unlike other unheralded programs that have emerged to make national headlines, the Zags didn't go away. They have stacked solid season upon solid season and as they enter 2016-17, they boast an 18-year streak of playing in the NCAA tournament -- a run of success that includes eight straight years of March Madness victories. A few years after the men's program took off, the Gonzaga women also reached unprecedented heights -- partly with the help of a fan base that couldn't get tickets to the men's games, but pushed the women to a top-15 national ranking in attendance. Glory Hounds is the story of how it all came together at Gonzaga for both men and women, how it changed the school, and how -- in a turbulent time of here-and-gone players in college basketball -- it continues. The Gonzaga story is woven deeply into the longevity of head coach Mark Few and his choice to stay at the school in the face of multiple offers to move elsewhere. Glory Hounds takes a close look at Few, his small-town roots and his decision to stay put. The book explores the rise of Few's longtime assistant, Tommy Lloyd, and his recruiting acumen overseas that has made Gonzaga one of the most popular destinations for foreign players. It documents the almost zany events that led to the construction of a new arena on campus in 2004; the unforgettable season of Adam Morrison in 2006; and the heartbreak and redemption of Josh Heytvelt. It chronicles the redshirt-year growth that has aided the program, and it details the paradox that keeps Seattle from becoming a productive recruiting pool for the Zags. Gonzaga's women authored their own rise to prominence, and Glory Hounds recounts that ascent, as well as the wizardry of the best women's player in school history, Courtney Vandersloot. Glory Hounds is the first attempt to bind together the various elements that, in a span now stretching into a generation, have made the Gonzaga story so compelling.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. Before Phil Knight's largess became a central part of the landscape of college athletics, the University of Oregon was a struggling entity, living hand-to-mouth financially. When one of its coaches departed, it usually hired from within -- in other words, on the cheap. But in 1971, it departed from custom, went east and invested in Dick Harter, who had turned the Penn basketball program into a national force. Harter's challenge at Oregon was nothing short of supreme: He wanted to bring down the dynasty that was John Wooden's UCLA Bruins. He would do it his way, using physical, man-to-man defense, a dive-on-the-floor work ethic and a working motto that became the program's battle cry -- Any time, any place, under any conditions. What materialized was the most controversial program in Pac-12 basketball history, one that quickly became beloved in Eugene and reviled throughout the rest of the league. Harter's tactics riled coaches and rival fans in the conference. While the Ducks were regarded as darlings close to their campus, they were the epitome of villains on the road. Harter would indeed get the attention of Wooden's Bruins. Oregon had a sole victory over the Wizard of Westwood -- on a memorable weekend in 1974 -- but more than that, the style of the so-called Kamikaze Kids bothered Wooden severely, and he was outspoken about it, joining some others in the conference like Washington's Marv Harshman in criticism. But Harter's program was about much more than the confrontations with UCLA. It was about trying to win a turf war in the state of Oregon with Oregon State's cagey Ralph Miller. This was an era when the conference was rife with proven coaches and high-level basketball, and seemingly every night was an epic battle, not only to win but to affirm a style. Mad Hoops details that saga, but it also highlights Harter's mercurial personality off the floor. This is a man who once tripped a male cheerleader -- intentionally -- in the gym of the bitter nearby rival, Oregon State. This is a man who delayed a televised game at Washington State by 20 minutes while a custodian on a stepladder measured the height of the baskets, at Harter's behest. Every night Oregon played was a happening, for better or worse. The Kamikaze Kids, in their fervent seven-year existence, were must-see mayhem, sometimes stretching the bounds of fair play and the limits of credulity. …
