Cummins in 2013 Copyright © 2017 by The Regents of the University of California ii Since 1954 the Oral History Center of the Bancroft Library, formerly the Regional Oral History Office, has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Bob Steiner dated January 27, 2016.

What do satellite television, Nike, the Grateful Dead, communism, and the Phillips Oil Company have in common? They have all had a profound effect on the history of the men’s Olympic basketball tournament. Carson Cunningham explains how these and other cultural entities have played a part in the evolution of the United States men’s Olympic basketball team – a team by which other nations have traditionally modelled their elite programs. In American Hoops: U.S. Men’s Olympic Basketball from Berlin to Beijing, Cunningham presents a view of the evolution of basketball and our social world through the prestigious Olympic men’s hardwood (or, in the 1936 Berlin Games, “dirt and gravel court” (23)) tournament.
