Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Why is A Season on the Brink the bestselling sports book of all time? The answer is easy: Bobby Knight. Audaciously brilliant, exasperatingly volatile, and never boring, the Indiana University basketball coach is Greek drama and comedy neatly wrapped in a red sweater. Like all high-strung people, Knight is particularly interesting when things don't go according to his playbook. John Feinstein had the good fortune to follow Knight and his Hoosiers through a difficult 1985-86 campaign; that Feinstein could watch that season attached to Knight's hip gives A Season on the Brink its sights and its sounds. That such closeness allowed entry into Knight's heart gives the book its fury. The combination is irresistible.

Review
Chicago TribuneNothing less than extraordinary.

Dayton Daily News/Journal-HeraldPerhaps the best basketball book ever written -- a riveting work.

The Wall Street JournalOne of the best books on sports that I have read in some time.
