Overview
"There was no better coach, or a more genuine person, than Bobby Cremins." --Mike Krzyzewski, from the foreword
In From the Bronx to the Bench, Cremins tells the story of a life shaped by basketball--from his playing days with the Gamecocks to rebuilding Appalachian State, transforming Georgia Tech into a national power, and returning to the sideline at the College of Charleston.
He shares with readers tales of intense recruiting battles, locker room speeches, rivalries cultivated, and season-defining games won. Cremins also remembers the players he recruited and coached--Mark Price, John Salley, Kenny Anderson, Dennis Scott, Stephon Marbury, and many others--and he recalls the legendary coaches he faced during the ACC's golden age, from Dean Smith and Jim Valvano to Mike Krzyzewski, who contributes the foreword.
More than a record of victories, From the Bronx to the Bench is a funny, candid, and deeply personal account of modern college basketball as well as the memoir of a gifted teacher and program builder.
Bobby Cremins played at the University of South Carolina before serving as head coach at Appalachian State, Georgia Tech, and the College of Charleston. Cremins remains the leader of Georgia Tech's all-time coaching wins.
