“I love a good comeback story and this one has it all.”
– Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys Quarterback“This beautifully written story is about the fight and determination they showed to help create the highest of standards for our men’s basketball program.”
– Kim Mulkey, Head Coach Baylor Women’s Basketball“…a moving story of personal redemption and an eyewitness account of the beginning of one of the sport’s greatest success stories ever.”
– Fran Fraschilla, ESPN Analyst
