Hardcover. Condition: New. A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOKThe long-awaited autobiography from Georgetown Universitys legendary coach, whose life on and off the basketball court throws Americas unresolved struggle with racial justice into sharp reliefJohn Thompson was never just a basketball coach and I Came As a Shadow is categorically not just a basketball autobiography.After three decades at the center of race and sports in America, the first Black head coach to win an NCAA championship is ready to make the private public. Chockful of stories and moving beyond mere stats (and what stats! three Final Fours, four times national coach of the year, seven Big East championships, 97 percent graduation rate), Thompsons book drives us through his childhood under Jim Crow segregation to our current moment of racial reckoning. We experience riding shotgun with Celtics icon Red Auerbach, and coaching NBA Hall of Famers like Patrick Ewing and Allen Iverson. How did he inspire the phrase Hoya Paranoia? Youll see. And thawing his historically glacial stare, Thompson brings us into his negotiation with a DC drug kingpin in his players orbit in the 1980s, as well as behind the scenes on the Nike board today.Thompsons mother was a teacher who couldnt teach because she was Black. His father could not read or write, so the only way he could identify different cements at the factory where he worked was to taste them. Their son grew up to be a man with his own life-sized statue in a building that bears his familys name on a campus once kept afloat by the selling of 272 enslaved people. This is a great American story, and John Thompsons experience sheds light on many of the issues roiling our nation. In these pages, he proves himself to be the elder statesman college basketball and the country need to hear from now.I Came As A Shadow is not a swan song, but a bullhorn blast from one of Americas most prominent sons.
