Review :
An unusually perceptive and entertaining study of heartland America. (The Chicago Tribune) Transcends sports and operates as cultural history. . .Warm, graceful, full of the happy savor of letter jackets and cheerleaders' sweaters. (The Boston Globe) Indiana history as view through a basketball net. . . An absorbing historical narrative, woven around modern Indiana history, using basketball as the thread. (The Indiana Historical Society) If you're a Hoosier Hysteric, call time out and go buy it; if you're not, reading Hoosiers will be like studying the strange ways of a cult that worships gym shoes. (Playboy) Will appeal not only to basketball fanatics but to mainstream readers as well. It is a knowing, respectful and caring look at heartland America. (The New York Times) From reviews of the second edition: Hoose develops a narrative that transcends sports and operates as cultural historyWarm, graceful, full of the happy savor of letter jackets and cheerleaders' sweaters...includes the great personalities of the game — Larry Bird, Rick Mount and the maniacal Bobby Knight—yet keeps the locus local, social and intimate. - The Boston Globe To say this little gem is a sports book is to say The Sun Also Rises is about bullfighting. - Scripps Howard News Service Terrific reading. - The Sporting News One of ten recommended sports books for kids. (The Kids' World Almanac of Records and Facts) A thoughtful, elegantly crafted and shrewdly entertaining examination of a fascinating American subculture. . . An amusing, vital and intelligent book about a slice of America too easily ignored. (Kirkus Reviews) This superbly written piece of sports journalism will alternately tickle the funnybone and pluck at the heartstrings of basketball fans everywhere. (Booklist) Phillip Hoose examines the phenomenon of Indiana basketball with wit and whimsy. - U.S. News and World Report Of all the books written about high school basketball in Indiana, this is the one that has lasted and will last, for good reason: None better explains the whys and wherefores, the context, culture, and fascinating history behind the hysteria. Read it to better understand Indiana as you would read Friday Night Lights to better understand Texas, or The City Game to better understand Harlem. - Alexander Wolff (Sports Illustrated Senior Writer) A knowing, respectful and caring look at heartland America. (The New York Times) A truly superior book. . . It's a steal. (The Indianapolis News)
