Críticas:

"The definitive book on the Terps' basketball history."

(Dick Heller Washington Times)

"Cole Field House is one of those real special places for college basketball. The enthusiasm of the student body, right on top of you, just makes it so unique. This place gets electric."

(Dick Vitale)

"Cole is special and people will miss it. There are certain places that have that mystique that made the ACC what it is. This is one of those places."

(Digger Phelps)

"In Maryland Basketball: Tales from Cole Field House, Paul McMullen captures all the glory, emotion, and excitement of one of college Basketball's all-time great arenas. This is my 24th year as Voice of the Terrapins. Having spent 23 of the 47 years of Cole's existence broadcasting Maryland Basketball, Paul McMullen brings to life the games, coaches, and players who made Cole Field House such a great place to play. From Elmore and McMillan to Bias, Smith, Francis, and Dixon. From Coaches Bud Millikan, to Lefty Driesell, to Gary Williams, Paul never misses a beat, climaxed by the Terps winning their first ever National Championship in 2001-2002. This book is a must read for every fan of Cole Field House, and every fan of Maryland Basketball."

(Johnny Holliday, ABC Sports "Voice of the Maryland Terrapins")
Reseña del editor:

As the University of Maryland prepares to christen the state of the art Comcast Center, what better time to look back at the Terrapins path from college basketball obscurity to NCAA champions? Maryland Basketball: Tales from Cole Field House is a story 47 years in the making. Native Marylander and former Terp beat writer Paul McMullen recounts the history of the University of Maryland's men's basketball program during the Cole years, from 1955-2002. It is a story of tragedy and triumph, and touches on the lives and times of the men who played and coached at one of college basketball's landmarks.

"Paul McMullen's artful, nostalgic, and sometimes controversial account of Maryland basketball history brings life and clarity to celebrated events and seminal moments of the program, many of which I experienced at first hand. His words are the cord that binds together a story previously known to insiders but largely unknown to those outside the Maryland "family."―Len Elmore, from the Foreword

The Terps went 485-151 at Cole, and compiled just as many amazing stories. Maryland basketball during the Cole era included some incredibly gifted players, colorful and sometimes controversial characters, and was driven by three coaches. Bud Millikan basically built a program from scratch and moved it from tiny Ritchie Coliseum into cavernous Cole. Lefty Driesell never quite made it into "the UCLA of the East," but nonetheless guided it to unprecedented heights; Gary Williams returned to his alma mater in 1989, gradually propped up a team crippled by NCAA probation and had the last team standing at the conclusion of 2001-02 season.

Maryland Basketball: Tales From Cole Field House revisits Terps stars from Gene Shue, who made them a hot ticket in their final seasons at Ritchie, to Juan Dixon, another product of Baltimore's Catholic League who overcame a tumultuous upbringing and made the final three seasons at Cole so memorable. The national championship that he and his teammates brought home from Atlanta last April provided a happy ending to what had been a history of great expectations unfulfilled.

What if Al Bunge had been healthy in 1958, when the Terps made their first appearance in the NCAA tournament? What if that tournament had been open to more than one team per conference in 1974, when Maryland had Len Elmore, John Lucas and Tom McMillen, but North Carolina State and David Thompson were unbeatable? What if Len Bias had not died in 1986 and plunged the Terps into a dark period from which it took years to emerge? What if Lonny Baxter and Terence Morris hadn't gotten into foul trouble at the 2001 Final Four?

Maryland Basketball: Tales from Cole Field House tells the story of Billy Jones, a teammate of Gary Williams who in 1965 broke the color barrier in the Atlantic Coast Conference; the epochal NCAA final between Kentucky and Texas Western that capped that season; hot recruits like McMillen and Albert King, and the ones that got away, like Moses Malone. Driesell, the showman, abandoned his up-tempo ways with a slowdown that beat South Carolina in 1971; 13 years later he finally got an ACC championship behind Bias, whose death led to the coach's exit from College Park.

Gary Williams' rebuilding job was hastened by the loyalty of Walt Williams, the courage of Keith Booth, the precocity of Joe Smith, the sensational acrobatics of Steve Francis, and finally capped by Dixon, the most unlikely Terps' star of all. All of their stories are told in Maryland Basketball: Tales from Cole Field House.

Buchbeschreibung Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. On 3rd March 2002, the Maryland Terrapins walked off the court at Cole Field House for the last time, as the Atlantic Coast Conference regular season champions, by defeating the Virginia Cavaliers, the same opponent they played - and beat - 47 years earlier to inaugurate what has become one of college basketball's most storied arenas. As the Terps settle in to their new home, the state-of-the-art Comcast Center, Paul McMullen recalls the colourful, exciting, and sometimes tragic story of Maryland basketball during the Cole Field House era - 1955-2002. McMullen chronicles how Maryland teams led by all-American players like Tom McMillen, Len Elmore, John Lucas, Albert King, Len Bias, Walt Williams, Joe Smith, Steve Francis and Juan Dixon compiled their remarkable 485-151 record at Cole. He looks back at the careers of coaches Bud Millikan, who took the Terps to their first ACC title in 1958; Lefty Driesell, who nearly succeeded in making Maryland "the UCLA of the East"; and Gary Williams, the former Terp who returned in 1989 to lead the team to two straight NCAA Final Fours and its first national championship.He recounts such games as the momentous 1966 NCAA tournament final played at Cole in which an all-white team fielded by Adolph Rupp's Kentucky Wildcats fell to the Texas Western Miners' all-black squad, forcing southern colleges to recognize the competitive disadvantage of segregation; the 1971 "Slowdown Upset" in which the Terrapins beat No. 2 South Carolina 31-30 after leading at the half 4-3; and the 1974 ACC tournament final between Maryland and NC State, perhaps the greatest ACC game ever played (Maryland lost in overtime, 103-100). McMullen also follows the downs and ups of the basketball programme off the court, from recruiting violations and the death of Len Bias to the post-collegiate success, both as players and coaches, of so many Terps. Since 1955, Cole Field House has hosted some of college basketball's most exhilarating games and outstanding players and coaches. This volume offers fans the chance to relive them all. All of their stories are told in Maryland Basketball: Tales from Cole Field House. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
