Product Description
A young, inexperienced team. Insurmountable odds. And the visionary coach that brought them to victory. During the 2000-2001 college basketball year, Mike Krzyzewski (Coach K) guided a very young and inexperienced Duke University team through a turbulent season filled with unexpected turns. Faced with everything from broken bones to humiliating losses, Coach K still managed to revamp his dispirited team and win the national championship. FIVE POINT PLAY is the story behind the winning season-the players, coaches, and motivational techniques utilized by Coach K, along with the players' feelings throughout this challenging time. Coach K proves that hard work, honesty, courage, and true teamwork can lead to the ultimate triumph. With his record of back-to-back NCAA championships, seven Final Fours, and one of the most successful basketball programs in the nation, Coach Krzyzewski is easily one of the most respected and recognized figures in all of sports.

 the travesty known as duke basketball February 4, 2007

Please don't support Coach K and his annual mediocre basketball team that wins through quiet help from officals; its a joke and supporting Duke by purchasing this media propaganda only worsens the fact that Arizona should have won that year (not to mention the other fact that Duke should not have been in the national championship game to begin with). I welcome all arguers in support of Duke because the facts say you will lose the argument every single time.

Kind of sappy writing but it was great fun to follow the 2001 year and hear some of Coach K's strategies and his take on each of the players. He described each game from that year and that was fun for me because I remember almost all of them.
Duke Cheated February 16, 2005

Why buy this book, everyone knows that Duke paid the officials in the Maryland game and the Arizona game. The real story should be how the nation was cheated out of the real championship game Maryland v. Arizona.
Self indulgent egotistical tripe. March 18, 2004

I was going to flush this book down a toilet; however, I began to think that flushing the book would be disrespectful to the floating excrement. The only true way to enjoy this book is to rip out the contents, page by page, and then burn each one in effigy. I want to hear about Duke's championship season like I want to hear about a terrorist attack. He opens the book by name dropping, then name dropping some more, followed by name drops. I couldn't make it past the third page before my gag reflex kicked in and I started to salivate. I would soon lose my Chalupa. If you are still interested in reading this book, keep an extra bottle of Kaopectate on hand, as well as an apology letter to your dry cleaner.
