Convictions of an Old Coach is a book about basketball.

It's also much more.

It's about heart and soul.

It's about the will to achieve.

It's about the game of life.

In this collection of anecdotes, Coach Joe North passes the ball and the wisdom from his storied forty-year career to athletes and fellow coaches alike. Learn the tools it takes to win on the court and off, as this devoted teacher reflects on a lifetime spent cultivating skills and character in young people. Players with bad attitudes, teams with rogue players, parents with agendas (and bribes), principals with more heart than funds.

Coach Joe may not know it all, but he's seen it all. He hopes that sharing his playbook may help young coaches, so that he may continue coaching the next generation from the sidelines.
