True, it is bawdy--but so is Shakespeare. This is a hilarious book, a chance to ride with a barnstorming ballclub. Each page is drenched with humor, or with insight which transcends the game, and this group of men. Rosen's Cockroach Basketball League is also a terrrific read. He is clearly the best basketball novelist going.
Not just about basketball.

"House of Moses All-Stars" does have, as can be expected terrifically written scens of the basketball games. But more than that, it tells a great story, with interesting characters and gives a great overview of all the various aspects of Depression-era America.

Thought provoking and comical all at once, Charley Rosen's tribute to the Sacred Hoop is a great read. A guilt-free page turner that provides insight into a group of seven men united by culture and divided by self-interest.
