I had missed "The Losing Season" until now. I totally identified with his basketball career as I went to a D-1 school (four years after he did) on a full ride (wrestling). To be almost really good is something that haunts jocks forever. The other thing that got to me (as if we didn't know this from his novels) was how awful his dad and his coach really were. That he didn't up and punch either of these guys out shows how much character he had at a very young age. By the way, I up and quit. And I never faced military discipline. This memoir is a gem.
