Synopsis
A nonfiction account of the lives of several young men living in Coney Island who see basketball, and their dream of becoming professional players, as their only escape from poverty. The boys all attend Abraham Lincoln High School and although many are talented on the basketball court, the author charges that their school system works against them and provides them with no solid educational background as they try to make it through the rough world of college athletic recruitment.

Publisher's Note
The author vividly chronicles a high school basketball game at Lincoln High School in Coney Island where, under the guise of a seemingly ubiquitous American sports ritual, the futures of some of its participants are being determined. Rerpint.

Industry Reviews
"Soars toward the basket, a brilliant portrait of what has gone wrong in our cities, and by extension, in our country."
Chicago Tribune Books - James North

"An elegantly told sad story of young black men playing with literally life-and-death desperation in Brooklyn's Coney Island wasteland, where there are two basic career paths - drugs and a basketball scholarship to college."
George Will

"This book--compellingly written, with elegance, economy and just the right amount of outrage--should be read by every parent who has a child involved in school sports, by every college president who pretends not to know what his coaches and recruiters are up to, by every member of Congress who has any interest at all in higher education."
New York Times Book Review - Brent Staples (11/13/1994)

"Powerful...Frey, a keen observer and a probing reporter, pulls the curtain back to reveal a Wizard of Oz who is not some harmless elderly man but a conglomerate of middle-aged, ambitious white coaches and overzealous, money-hungry sneaker companies...His honest coming-to-terms with the tragic world around him is as dramatic and exhilarating as the unfolding lives of the four young basketball stars."
Will
