[Christopher Gammill]

Entertaining read for OU fan and fandoms of coaching / motivators. Bud was one of the all-time greats!

[Robert Ellington]

Excellent! I found the ending a lot more moving than most biographies of coaches that I've read. A truly great coach and memorable teacher.

[Dale Stonehouse]

Nice summary with anecdotes of the coaching and political careers of the author's father.
