Reminiscent of Feinstein at his best!

I thought this was a very enjoyable book and an easy read. The style/format is reminiscent of the better Feinstein basketball books (i.e. Season on the Brink, A Season Inside, The Last Amateurs, etc.). The book opens at the 2006 CAA tournament (which I attended), then spends several chapters talking about the major issues surrounding the mid-majors (such as the difficulties scheduling games with BCS schools). These chapters tended to drag a little but were informative. The remainder of the book follows the 2005-06 CAA season in-depth in the style of the aforementioned Feinstein books. This book will be especially enjoyed by fans, students, and alumni of the CAA schools. I admit to being biased in that I am a graduate of VCU. As someone who really enjoys this genre of writing; however, I believe the average fan of college basketball will enjoy this book as well.
