Acknowledgments
The authors wish to acknowledge those coaches, players and observers of basketball who have influenced their careers and contributed concepts and ideas to this book.
For John Kresse, there are too many to mention individually. But no such list would be complete without his former coach at St. John's University, Joe Lapchick, and his fellow coach at St. John's and with the New York Nets, Lou Carnesecca. Kresse also recognizes the collective impact and contribution of the many assistant coaches and players he has worked with during 19 years at the College of Charleston.
For Richard Jablonski, professional influences include those journalists in New York and elsewhere whose writing he still studies and enjoys. His career path in writing is largely the responsibility of his father, Edward T. Jablonski, who never failed to bring home a newspaper at the end of the day.
Also, the authors appreciate the work of many people at Sagamore Publishing and Coaches Choice Books, including Jim Peterson, Michelle Summers and Mariah Oxford.

Foreword
One of the great joys of coaching basketball is the many people you get to meet and know through the game. Nearly 40 years ago, when I was an assistant coach under the legendary Joe Lapchick at St. John's University, I met John Kresse. It didn't take long for me to see that this kid was an incredibly hard worker who loved the game of basketball. So I asked him, "Would you like to get involved in coaching?" That summer, John went to Clair Bee's camp, the granddaddy of all basketball camps. I think that's where he really started to get involved.
John took his first job in 1964 at Christ the King High School in New York. A year later, when Coach Lapchick retired from St. John's and I was fortunate enough to succeed him, I asked John to join me as one of my assistants. It's a great story. The first game I ever coached at St. John's was the freshmen against the varsity. John took the freshmen and beat me. He felt so bad he wouldn't come to practice the next day. That was the start of a long professional relationship. John was my assistant for the next 14 years11 with St. John's and three with the New York Nets of what was then the American Basketball Association.
In 1979, John left St. John's for the College of Charleston, where he has enjoyed nothing but success on and off the court. He has a wonderful family, a marvelously successful basketball program, and a loyal following of thousands of Charlestonians. Among his peers, he is regarded as one of the top coaches in the college gamea man with a keen eye for basketball and the ability to translate that vision into a remarkable winning percentage on the court. He and his team are no longer two of the best-kept secrets in college basketball.
None of this surprises me. You could tell at an early age that John was a real student of the game. He always had a certain flair for basketball. Sometimes, you can develop that in a person, but in John's case, you could see it was more than that. It was inherent. You can see that John still has a special feel for the game by the way he handles situations. A lot of people can learn basketball from a book. But to be really successful, you must have a feel for the game. John has that gift.
