Players First by John Calipari
Now with a new chapter on the Wildcats' legendary comeback in the 2014 Final Four John Calipari, one of the most successful coaches in NCA history, presents the world of college basketball from the coach's chair, unvarnished and straight from the heart. Players First is Calipari's account of his first six years coaching the University of Kentucky men's team, leading it to a national championship in 2012 and the championship game in 2014, all while dealing with the realities of the one-and-done mentality and an NCA that sometimes seems to put players last. Filled with revelatory stories about what it takes to succeed at the highest level of the college game, Players First is a candid look at the great players and rivalries that have filled Calipari's life with joy and a sense of purpose.Michael Sokolove is the author of Hustle: The Myth, Life, and Lies of Pete Rose, a contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine. He and his wife, as well as their three children, live in Bethesda, Maryland.
