Not 'Stormin Back', written in 1991 largely as a response to the NCAA investigation and subsequent punishment so Norm could get his side of the story out.
But the 1980 book (written with George Scholz) called 'Basketball: Building the Complete Program".
I actually have a copy sitting on my desk right now, but it occurs to me I don't think I've ever read it. Its basically a summary from Norm about how to correctly build a program and all the things that go into doing so (forward by Bobby Knight). Its definitely written with other coaches as the envisioned audience with a lot of play diagrams and tactical approaches covered, and also has a recap from Norm's perspective of the 1979-80 season that just concluded.
Now that the Athletic picked it among the litany of books about our program, I'm kind of curious to start reading it.
