But that hasty description of Coach DV does not fit with his sincerity and absolute honesty, his 40 years of successful teams, the admiration expressed by past players (300 of whom traveled from all over the country to attend a banquet in his honor), the many nonathletic students whose lives he touched, nor the logic behind his seemingly irrational actions. In every field there are exceptional people whose stories are both fascinating and instructive. A remarkable example is Coach DV, an intense and colorful character who stripped basketball --- and life --- to its essentials and consistently adhered to his simple principles. Coach DV was a perfectionist of the highest order. Rarely satisfied, he could not bear seeing poor or lazy basketball, regardless of who was playing. For 40 years --- play after play day after day, season after season --- Coach DV forcefully and unrelentingly corrected mistakes . He set few rules and did not care for motivational slogans: he just would not tolerate mediocrity. This book relates insightful incidents from Coach DV's career and puts his guiding principles into words that can benefit coaches, players, fans, business people, and anyone with a will to succeed. Ideal writer tells this story -- Author Dick DeVenzio is uniquely qualified to report this story of Coach DV. Dick is a writer, speaker, motivator, ex-basketball star, and son of Coach DV. After playing for his father in high school, where their undefeated 1967 Ambridge team has been called the best in Pennsylvania history, Dick was a three year starting point guard at Duke University. Dick's performance earned him Academic All-American honors. Since then, Dick played and coached professionally in Europe and Caribbean, and assisted Coach DV at two high schools. Dick has written numerous articles on college basketball and is the author of several books on basketball, education, and achieving success. Among his books are two others published by the Fool Court Press:Stuff! good players should know --- a highly recommended basketball instructional book now in its seventh printingRip-Off --- pioneering expose on the exploitation of major college athletes SUITE808 YOUR PROFESSIONAL ONLINE SAVING PLACE "It is possible to dress expensive on a limited budget"
