Stormy, Husky, Brawling! 'Coaches of Chicago' reveals the raw, vulnerable, and demanding realities of leadership in the volatile and gritty high school hoops culture. Malnati, Pappas, and Pingatore deliver authentic lessons of humanity in a milieu fraught with controversy, scandal, and greed. This provoking collection of conversations, stories, and quotes is essential reading for coaches, leaders, teachers, and parents who strive to improve their teams, businesses, classrooms, and families.

Of all the leadership books I have read,Coaches of Chicagois my favorite. Paul Pryma does a masterful job of piecing together stories of three extraordinary Chicago educators/coaches into mini-lessons on how great leadership is directly related to student success. This book is a great read for anyone in education, and a MUST-READ for any current or aspiring administrator.
