Building the Tradition

Most University of Michigan basketball fans know about the school's success during the Cazzie Russell era, and how the Wolverines built on that foundation, rising ever higher until they reached the pinnacle with their 1989 NCAA championship. But few know the stories behind the headlines. How did Michigan coach Dave Strack, who admitted that U-M basketball was "bad" when he became the coach, land a player of Russell's caliber? And how did Michigan find Russell's perfect complement, a future All-American who nobody else knew about?

Using fresh interviews with dozens of coaches and players - including Russell, Rudy Tomjanovich, Johnny Orr, Bill Frieder, Glen Rice and many others - author Mike Rosenbaum digs behind the scenes to reveal the fascinating stories behind Michigan's basketball successes from 1960 to 1989.
