A Season on the Brink chronicles the basketball season that John Feinstein spent following the Indiana Hoosiers and their fiery coach, Bob Knight. Knight granted Feinstein an unprecedented inside look at college basketball -- with complete access to every moment of the season. Feinstein saw and heard it all -- practices, team meetings, strategy sessions, and mid-game huddles -- during Knight’s struggle to avoid a losing season. A Season on the Brink not only captures the drama and pressure of big-time college basketball but paints a vivid portrait of a complex, brilliant coach walking

John Feinstein, whom the Boston Globe calls ’the best writer of sports books in America today,’ captures the fiercest four days in golf as no other writer could. Chronicling the U.S. Open as it was played, for the first time in history, on a true public golf course-and one of the most challenging courses in the country (only one player, Tiger Woods, finished under par at Bethpage Black)-Feinstein lifts the mystery shrouding golf’s most celebrated event and takes the reader through every shot, every trap, every thorny hole, and every bitter rivalry of golf’s greatest tou

Stevie Thomas and Susan Carol Anderson return in another fast-paced, action-packed sports mystery. The two teenage sports reporters have kept in touch after their wild time at the Final Four, and when Susan Carol manages to score a press pass to cover the first week of the U.S. Open Tennis Tournament in New York, Stevie works out a way to be there as well. The behind-the-scenes action in the world of professional tennis is occasionally bewildering, but it turns downright inconceivable when a young Russian phenom, Natalia Makarova, disappears right before her second-round match. Everyone is loo

The Patriot League is one of the NCAAs smallest Division I conferences, a group of schools in the Northeast that includes Colgate, Holy Cross, Lafayette, Lehigh, Bucknell, Army, and Navy. No one on these teams leaves college early to join the NBA. None of these coaches gets national recognition or endorsement contracts. The young men on these teams are playing for the love of basketball and of their schools. But every year, the top team from the Patriot League gets into the NCAA Tournament, and though they always lose in the first round, how much they lose by can make a huge difference in the

In June 2002, the US Open was played, for the first time in history, on a true public golf course. Bethpage State Park is owned by the state of New York, and no membership is required to play there. This is golf at its most populist, most pure - and most challenging. In what Tiger Woods himself would declare ’the most difficult national championship’, Sergio Garcia, Phil Mickelson, Nick Faldo and the rest would, through days of rain and roughs, learn the hard way that while Bethpage may be open to the public, even for the pros the chance of winning can be closed off to mere mortals
