Praise for Wooden: A Coach’s Life
 
“Superb . . . [Seth Davis] has written a virtual cutaway view of the history and evolution of basketball in the form of a biography. Davis takes us on bus rides over snow-covered roads to Friday-night high school games, puts us in the frantic and precarious whirl of semi-pro basketball barnstorming in the Midwest and, finally, gives us a courtside seat in the high-stakes pressure cooker of big-time college basketball.” ―Los Angeles Times
 
“A meticulously researched and evenhanded assessment.” ―The New York Times Book Review
 
“Mr. Davis beautifully captures the ties that bound a strong-willed coach and his players. His biography is superb–readable, well-reported and savvy in its understanding of basketball.” ―The Wall Street Journal
