About the Author
Chuck Hildebrand has been a professional journalist since 1979, when he was first hired by the Peninsula Times Tribune in Palo Alto, Calif. He worked for that newspaper, now defunct, for 13 years, covering the NFL and Major League Baseball in addition to Santa Clara University and Stanford University sports. He later worked as a cityside reporter in Santa Cruz, Calif., before moving to Nevada in 1997 and founding NevadaPrep.com, a website that covers high school sports throughout the Silver State. Hildebrand in 1998 published his first book, Bronco Sundays, which chronicled the history of Santa Clara’s once-storied football program. He also was a youth baseball coach in the 1970s and 1980s, and was involved with the youth baseball program in Campbell, Calif., which won four national championships in the late 1970s. Hildebrand, a native of Mountain View, was raised in San Jose and is a graduate of San Jose State University. He currently is a free-lance writer based in Winnemucca, Nev.

A Complete Story About One of the Good Guys,
By R. Michael (San Jose, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dick Davey: A Basketball Life Richly Led (Paperback)
I anxiously awaited the publication of this book because it's a story too seldom told. Not many writers can attain the depth and understanding required to put this book together, but Chuck Hildebrand does it magnificently. Great background information, wonderful anecdotes from former players like Steve Nash, and and inside look at one of college basketball's most respected coaches. It's a great read if you like good people and college hoops.
3.0 out of 5 stars
