In Tales from the Marquette Hardwood, fans can take a look at all the high and low points, from McGuire to Crean and everything in between. Personal interviews with many great Marquette players and coaches, including Dwyane Wade, Hank Raymonds, Rick Majerus, Mike Deane, Tom Crean, Glenn “Doc” Rivers, Jim McIlvaine, Travis Diener, and Tony Smith, give insight to memorable moments both on and off the court. Under colorful coach Al McGuire, Marquette basketball flourished as one of the top collegiate programs in the country. Throughout the 1960’s and ‘70’s, the “super salesman” made successful pitches to some of America’s finest young players. These young men experienced an entirely different way of life, but the life lessons they learned from McGuire prepared them for success in the basketball arena and beyond. Behind- the-scenes stories, based on numerous interviews, provide a unique look at this mesmerizing personality. Of course, the focal point is on that “magic carpet ride” to the 1977 NCAA championship. Many observers wondered if the once-proud Marquette program would ever again approach the standards set by Al McGuire. Exit Bob Dukiet, enter Kevin O’Neill, in 1989. The ultra intense coach used salty language, but in his fifth season at the helm “K.O.” took Marquette to the NCAA’s Sweet Sixteen. In only his fourth season, Coach Crean and All-American Wade led Marquette to the Conference USA championship and a return to the Final Four. Somehow, the Marquette program had come full circle, and before his death, McGuire spent hours talking with Crean. ABOUT THE AUTHORS: Mike Neufeldt graduated from Marquette University in 2000 with a degree in broadcast and electronic communications. An avid sports fan, he began attending Marquette basketball games when he interned at WITI FOX 6 in Milwaukee during middle and high school. He and co- author Tom Pipines became friends while working together on the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) Jerry Lewis Telethon. Neufeldt served as the MDA Goodwill Ambassador for Southeast Wisconsin in 1985 and 1986 and had the honor to represent MDA as the National Goodwill Ambassador in 1987 and 1988. Currently, Neufeldt works at Milwaukee’s Harley-Davidson Motor Company in their interactive communications department. Tom Pipines grew up in Syracuse, New York, dreaming of becoming a big league baseball player. As a freshman at Baldwin Wallace College in Bera, Ohio, he became blown away by sports broadcasting and transferred to Ithaca College in upstate New York for a chance to get hands- on experience in their fine TV/radio department. He currently works for FOX 6 in Milwaukee as a sports reporter. He and his wife Monica have two children. Available Fall 2005! www.SportsPublishingLLC.com.

  • Basketball and Life (With Al Mcguire)
    Basketball and Life (with Al McGuire) Introduction Every coach must be himself. Here are some of the things that I feel are important in life as well as in the game of basketball. Only take what fits your personality and your style of coaching. Live In the Moment When I was 12 or 13 years old, I was down at the beach, body-riding the waves. I came home for lunch, and my grandmother fixed me a triple sandwich of fried bread with catsup. I loved them, and I used to eat them all the time. When I finished, there was this big beautiful yellow banana. She said "Alfie, take the banana." And I said "No, Granny, I want it, but I'll take a pass." She said "Why?" And I said "I want it, but if I eat the banana, I'll have to stay out of the water for an hour because of cramps. I rushed back to the beach. The wind kicked up, and it got too cold to swim. I sat on the boardwalk stairs looking out at the ocean, too young to understand what I was thinking. But I thought, it's too cold to go swimming; I wish I had eaten the banana. When I was 21, I thought about life and finally said to myself, "I will eat the banana". Live in the moment that you are in. Make your life exciting. Do what you have to do, as long as you don't hurt people. Dream Big Every one must dream. I don't care what your dreams are, but dream big.

INTRODUCTION Collegiate athletics has become big business in America, generating billions of dollars each year. Division I-A' football and men's basketball are among the most popular sports in America, and they are the revenue generators in collegiate athletics. Central Broadcasting Systems (CBS) and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) are currently under an eleven-year, $6 billion contract for the television broadcast rights for the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.2 Fox is paying $330 million for the right to broadcast the Fiesta, Sugar, and Orange Bowls from 2007-2010 and the right to broadcast the college football national championship games from 2007-2009. 3 With so much money spent on collegiate football and men's basketball, it appears that successful programs in these sports offer universities an opportunity to generate significant revenue.
