This book is very detailed about basketball in a small dying Midwest town. I am not a big basketball fan in general, but as a teacher who spent time at a small school in a dying Midwest town, I really felt that setting deeply. There were moments when it was a bit more detailed about basketball than I prefer, but that should be expected based on the title. The end brings together all of the ideas nicely. It is more emotional because we have had all of those details about their season previously. The epilogue and afterward were essential to wrap up the whole story. Those might have been my favorite chapters. The narrative voice was very factual. There wasn't much editorializing. I would have preferred a bit more editorializing, but that is a minor point.
