Pete Carril was also a character. He was intense and demanding, but also funny and entertaining. As former Princeton star and NBA Co-Rookie of the Year Geoff Petrie stated, "Pete Carril was a unique force of nature. He could create his own weather on a basketball court." He was known for being brutally honest with his players. His style was tough love for all. Despite this, more than 30 former Princeton players came together in 2022 to write short chapters about their memories of times with a man who coached them 26-55 years ago.
COACH is the collection of these stories. While every chapter is unique, the commentaries illustrate that Pete Carril was a teacher committed to making his players better and making his teams better, but also a teacher committed to preparing his players for life after Princeton.
COACH is the untold story of a coaching legend and the lasting impact he had on his players.
