Inside the ACC’s high-pressure basketball culture

John Feinstein examines Atlantic Coast Conference basketball through the work and pressure surrounding its programs, moving beyond game results to the coaching and locker-room environments behind elite college competition. The book maps a conference defined by nine schools—among them Duke, North Carolina, Maryland, and Florida State—and the rivalries that shaped their championship ambitions. Its scope centers on how basketball is prepared, coached, and played within the ACC’s demanding collegiate setting. This paperback edition also includes an afterword that looks back at the conference’s then-current season and previews the 1998–99 rivalries.
