The firebrand former NBA coach and player recounts his career in this candid memoir.During his three-decade career as a head coach in the NBA, George Karl has amassed more victories (1, 175) than all but four men in league history, including Phil Jackson. While Jackson may have earned his iconic status by morphing into the Zen master, Karl has succeeded in the opposite manner-as an excitable firebrand who never backed down from a confrontation on or off the court.In telling his story, Karl holds nothing back, talking candidly about the greed, selfishness, and ass covering he believes are characteristic of many modern professional players.Off the court, Karl has summoned that inner steel to battle cancer alongside his son, Coby. Their shared struggle to overcome the toughest of all opponents shows a rarely-glimpsed side of Karl-a warmer, more compassionate streak that values family above all else.Raw, hard-hitting, and brutally honest, Furious George is as in-your-face and entertaining as the game that has defined Karl’s life. Whether in backwater semi-pro towns or in NBA cities, George Karl coaches one way-all out.
