"I am personally excited that Hoose has included the girls' game, showing that we have the same passion for the sport that the boys have. Hoosiers is a fun, easy, and informative read for all basketball enthusiasts-the writing style is great for kids and adults."
Judi Warren, First Miss Basketball 1976
"Hoose takes on our state's most important basketball stories, but refuses to believe that they should sound encyclopedic. This book is the next best thing to watching our game's most important moments while sitting next to the biggest fan in the gym."
Bill Riley, author of The Milan Miracle: The Town that Hoosiers Left Behind
"I love this book. The stories and characters jump off the page. My favorite chapter is about Meadowood Park... This slab of concrete set in the middle of a forest somehow magnetized carloads of the best and toughest players in the city... Combat at Meadowood Park helped prepare me for college and pro ball. Phil Hoose-who was there-brings Meadowood back, and plenty more."
Billy Keller, Indiana's 1965 Mr. Basketball, star guard for Purdue and the Indiana Pacers
