Summary: Beyond the Brink with Indiana
Comment: Beyond the brink, a book about a Championship team who came to victory with four seconds to go in the Championship game. Indiana was the team who shocked the people around the world by winning the championship in 1987. Indiana is a team that can't be predictable, especially coach Bobby Knight. The coach that will live infamy; his coaching and his actions were unforgettable.
The book review the 1986-87 season, where Bobby Knight banged his fist on the officials table and broke a phone and was fined $10,000 and when the Hoosiers won the NCAA title. When Bobby Knight didn't think he had the team that could go all the way. It was also the season that the championship game will not be forgotten either. It was the shot the Keith Smart took with four seconds to go. Beyond the Brink, is an awesome book for Indiana basketball fans. I liked how the book broke every game down into pieces and it showed how the team progressed through the season. I was only three years old and I hear about this year and the last game and that's when I wanted to read about it. I was born an Indiana fan and to like and understand why the book is called beyond the brink is why you should read it.
I wish that the book would have started from the very first game of the season instead of starting it from the summer before. I do not think the summer where two players played in the Olympics had nothing to do with the season because it does not include the whole team. The book was really specific and detail to a point. I think that some of it could have been left out because some information might not seem in the right place. Altogether, this book is made for only real Hoosier fans that enjoyed everything about Indiana basketball.

Summary: A must for IU fans!
Comment: This game-by-game account of Indiana's 1987 NCAA championsip season recaps the ups and down of an exciting year. The author is a (now retired) writer from the Bloomington Herald-Times - and one of Bob Knight's closest friends. Interesting tidbits, stats, and stories. If you're an IU fan - buy this book.
