<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Includes new chapter on the surprising 2009-2010 season"--Cover.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Includes new chapter on the surprising 2009-2010 season <p/>The inside story of how one of the most successful college basketball programs in the nation was built <p/>The 2009-10 NCAA college basketball season marked the 100th anniversary of North Carolina basketball. The UNC Tar Heels have won two NCAA championships since 2005, and own more victories over the last half-century than any other college team. <p/> But it wasn't always that way. <p/>For most of the first 50 years the team existed at UNC, the sport was an afterthought. But that all changed in 1952 with the arrival of Frank McGuire. When Roy Williams and the Tar Heels won the 2005 and 2009 national championships, they could thank Frank McGuire and his protégé, Dean Smith, for starting the tradition of triumph. Art Chansky, who has covered UNC basketball for more than 30 years, constructs an intimate narrative of how three dramatically different coaches built the longest-lasting dynasty in college basketball. <p/>The banners of those teams hang in the rafters today, warming the hearts of all those who have worshipped UNC's Light Blue Reign over the last fifty years--and counting. Part history, part centennial celebration, <i>Light Blue Reign </i>is not simply about one team's victories--it's about the dedication, passion, and love for a sport that players and fans of any loyalty will understand.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"As with all of Chansky's books, this one is well-researched and highly anecdotal. Chansky knows UNC basketball as well as anyone, and his storytelling gift brings the characters in his books to life." --<i>The News & Observer (North Carolina)</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Art Chansky is a veteran journalist and the author of three books on UNC basketball, including <i>Blue Blood</i>. He is also a sports marketing executive who developed an all-sports competition between Duke and Carolina called the Carlyle Cup. He lives in Chapel Hill with his family.</p>
