Description

This chronicle of the storied history of the University of Cincinnati basketball program is filled with anecdotes from and about its star players, coaches, and colorful characters. The coaches include Bob Huggins, who took over the program in 1989 and led the Bearcats back to prominence with a 1992 Final Four appearance; his predecessor Tony Yates, a former star Cincinnati player who was eventually fired as the coach; Ed Badger, who went on to coach and scout in the NBA: Gale Catlett, who left UC for West Virginia; Ed Jucker, who coached the Bearcats to their two national championships: and Tay Baker, the only man to coach at both UC and crosstown rival Xavier University. Among the star players featured in the book are, of course, Hall of Famers Oscar Robertson and Jack Twyman; 2000 National Player of the Year Kenyon Martin, and All-Americans such as Nick Van Exel, Danny Fortson and Steve Logan. Author Michael Perry also recounts some of the program's most memorable games and moments, including recaps of the most exciting Crosstown Shootouts against the rival Xavier Musketeers. Tales from the Cincinnati Bearcats Hardwood will be a comprehensive trip down memory lane, providing insight into the Huggins era and, for those who did not start following the team until the 1990s, a nice history lesson about one of America's top basketball programs.
