520    The long-awaited autobiography from Georgetown 
       University's legendary coach, whose life on and off the 
       basketball court threw America's unresolved struggle with 
       racial justice into sharp relief. John Thompson was never 
       just a basketball coach and I Came As A Shadow is 
       categorically not just a basketball autobiography. After 
       three decades at the center of race and sports in America,
       the first Black head coach to win an NCAA championship 
       makes the private public at last. Chockful of stories and 
       moving beyond mere stats (and what stats! three Final 
       Fours, four times national coach of the year, seven Big 
       East championships, 97 percent graduation rate), 
       Thompson's book drives us through his childhood under Jim 
       Crow segregation to our current moment of racial 
       reckoning. We experience riding shotgun with Celtics icon 
       Red Auerbach, and coaching NBA Hall of Famers like Patrick
       Ewing and Allen Iverson. How did he inspire the phrase 
       "Hoya Paranoia"? You'll see. And thawing his historically 
       glacial stare, Thompson brings us into his negotiation 
       with a DC drug kingpin in his players' orbit in the 1980s,
       as well as behind the scenes of his years on the Nike 
       board. Thompson's mother was a teacher who couldn't teach 
       because she was Black. His father could not read or write,
       so the only way he could identify different cements at the
       factory where he worked was to taste them. Their son grew 
       up to be a man with his own life-sized statue in a 
       building that bears his family's name on a campus once 
       kept afloat by the selling of 272 enslaved people. This is
       a great American story, and John Thompson's experience 
       sheds light on many of the issues roiling our nation. In 
       these pages-a last gift from "Coach"-he proves himself to 
       be the elder statesman whose final words college 
       basketball and the country need to hear. I Came As A 
       Shadow is not a swan song, but a bullhorn blast from one 
       of America's most prominent sons. Huddle up. A Macmillan 
       Audio production from Henry Holt and Company
