You Can Call Me Al

[CrazyEcho]

Just finished this book upon the recommendation of some posters here.  I really enjoyed it.
 
I'm a first-generation Marquette student, so I didn't really know the history of MU basketball in the 1970s.  I knew the names, but I didn't know how they all fit together.  This book put it together for me. 

Overall, the writing leaves something to be desired, but I'd recommend the read especially if you're lacking in your MU basketball history.

I haven't read that book in years, but I really liked it. Maybe I will start to read it over again one of these days. Does anyone know of a similar book about Al I might read next? Thanks.

Glad to hear. It's a great book.

Here are some more Marquette basketball-centric books you probably will enjoy:

My   hope is that someday  a definitive mainstream biography of Al McGuire will be published .
He proved to be  far deeper, certainly more serious human being then he ever let on. He had an "act" to sell and it obscured much of what he was really all about.
