“Tar Heel Tip-Off” and “Basketball: Multiple Offenses and Defenses”

All four annual editions of “Tar Heel Tip-Off” (2007-2008, 2008-2009, 2009-2010, 2010-2011) should arrive any day now providing the snow doesn’t prevent the UPS and USPS drivers from making the trek up my drive.  I’m looking forward to diving right in as soon as the packages are plunked down on my front porch.

Little did I know that I’ve been reading and admiring the work of the THTO author, Adrian Atkinson, for many years now — except that I knew him by another name and as a very intelligent Inside Carolina message board poster.  (Yes, such a creature does exist!)

Also included in one of my orders is Dean Smith’s “Basketball: Multiple Offenses and Defenses” — one of best X’s and O’s basketball books out there and written by one of the most brilliant basketball minds of my lifetime. It should be a real treat!
