Five Were Chosen, a Basket Ball Story

Meer over het boek

When the new young assistant coach arrived at the small college where he had reluctantly agreed to work while recuperating from a mean injury he had suffered during a "big time" basketball game in New York City, things seemed mighty low. Trim Stowe had looked forward to becoming a much-cheered pro basketball star, so the comedown was terrific, especially when he found the pitiful choice he had in players for the top-flight winning team the college "gentleman-bountiful"--and policy dictator--expected him to produce. How Trim gathered together the most miscellaneous, unpromising, character-clashing quintet and molded them into a smooth-functioning, congenial set of players makes for good reading.
