Sports Illustrated’s chief NBA writer, Jack McCallum, only planned to spend the preseason with the Phoenix Suns as an “assistant coach” — and then write a story about his experiences. Instead, he stayed on with the Suns throughout their exciting and controversial 2005-2006 season. Gaining access to everything from locker-room chats with superstar point guard Steve Nash, to coaches’ meetings with maverick coach Mike D’Antoni, McCallum learned what makes this wildly popular, innovative, and international assemblage of talented players and brilliant coaches tick — making Seven Seconds or Less an all-access look at one of the greatest shows in sports.

When most Americans hear the words roller derby” today, they think of the kitschy sport once popular on weekend tv during the seventies and eighties. Originally an endurance competition where skaters travelled the equivalent of a trip between Los Angeles and New York, derby gradually evolved into a violent contact sport often involving fake fighting. But after almost dying out in the nineties, derby has been making a comeback. From a mere handful of leagues in the United States just a few years ago, there are now more than 17,000 skaters in more than 400 leagues around the world, with hundreds of thousands of die-hard fans. Down and Derby will tell you everything you ever wanted to know about the sport. Written by veteran skaters as both a history and a how-to, Down and Derby is a brassy celebration of every aspect of the sport, from its origins in the late 1800s, to the rules of a modern bout, to the science of picking an alias, to the many ways you can get involved off skates.
Informative, entertaining, and executed with the same tough, sassy, DIY attitude leavened with plenty of humor that the sport is known for, Down and Derby is the first and last book on derby you’ll ever need. Read details »
From the author of Pitching Around Fidel and Far Afield comes a tragic—but ultimately uplifting—account of the accidental death of minor league first base coach Mike Coolbaugh, illustrating the many ways in which baseball still has a hold on America.
This season’s Friday Night Lights, Heart of the Game centers on the death of Mike Coolbaugh, a minor league coach who was killed in July 2007 by a foul ball rocketed off Tino Sanchez’s bat. Coolbaugh died nearly instantly, his body carted off the field of the Double-A Arkansas Travelers on a suffocating Sunday evening in Little Rock. He was thirty-five years old and the dad of two, with a third child on the way.
Mike’s exemplary life—his devotion to game and family—is the spine of the story. But it is not the drama. The drama is in the telling of what can happen when a projectile hits the wrong place on the human body, of the lives being lived up until that fatal moment, of the remarkable people who happened to be in the ballpark that night, of the impact on the man who hit the ball, and of all the lives left behind.
Price reveals anew that classic heart of Americana—small-town sports, small-town lives—and makes us comprehend that a game played away from the mindless churn of Internet blather and highlight shows can be more important than those played on the national stage.
The incredible true story of one high school student’s determination to triumph against the challenges of autism-and his opponents on the basketball court… On February 15, 2006, the Greece Athena Trojans high school basketball team took the court for the final game of the regular season. With four minutes and nineteen seconds left on the clock, and the Trojans nursing a comfortable lead, the coach sent Jason McElwain-an autistic student and the team manager-to the scorer’s table. He scored twenty points, including a school record six three- pointers. J-Mac, as McElwain became known, was carried off the court on his teammates’ shoulders, and a video tape of the game quickly found its way onto national television, making J-Mac a household name. An inspiration to people everywhere, Jason McElwain’s astonishing accomplishment was broadcast on CN, ESPN, and local newscasts across the country, moving President Bush to tears with his courage and determination.
