Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I went to UNC-CH & grew up near where the author grew up, so the book was interesting to me. I imagine it may be less interesting for others. I enjoyed learning the history of UNC basketball the most.

"Why should a particular game, played with a round ball by twenty-year-olds in short pants often hundreds of miles away, mean so much to me, since I seem to have so little to gain or lose by its outcome?" Fred Hobson thus begins Off the Rim, his narrative of college basketball and society, of growing up and not growing up. He seeks the answer to this question by delving into the particulars of his own experience.
