Seven by Alan Ross

There simply is no other current record like it in men's or women's college basketball: seven national championships in the last twenty-one years. That is the record of the unquestioned queenpins of women's college basketball: the University of Tennessee Lady Vols, coached by the summit of all court coaches, the incomparable Pat Head Summitt. Seven presents an intimate portrait of those championship seasons, with a thorough look at the makeup, execution, and final achievement of each championship squad. The chapters include the turning point of each season, the highs and lows, the rivalries, the highlight moments, the stars, and the force behind them all: Coach Pat Summit. Alan Ross presents a courtside look at all the great Tennessee stars: Candace Parker, Shannon Bobbitt, Chamique Holdsclaw, Tamika Catchings, Michelle Marciniak, Daedra Charles, Dena Head, Bridgette Gordon, Tonya Edwards, Sheila Frost, and the other magnificent players who helped cut down the nets.
Alan Ross (1922-2001) was a poet, writer, journalist, editor and publisher. In fact, he was a man of letters par excellence. Born in India, educated in England, he joined the Royal Navy in the Second World War and endured the Arctic convoys to Russia. Alan Ross took over The London Magazine (the definite article was later dropped) from John Lehmann and revitalized it. There, it has been said, 'he simplified as well as unified contemporary culture by the clarity of his unique editorial taste. He also discovered many new talents.'His writing embraced poetry, cricket journalism, biography, autobiography, criticism and travel writing. Many of his titles are to be reissued in Faber Finds.
