The College of Manhattan basketball program that usually can be seen on ESPN Full court is hoping for the best in freshman recruit Kevin Laue. Laue who is from Pleasanton California is happy he was able to make his dreams come true by attending a division 1 school on a basketball scholarship. It’s been a rough road for Laue who was not like most 6’11 high school centers that have practically every major college program knocking on their door and sending them recruiting letters just because of their height. He has the skills to play at a major program, but most coaches immediately ruled him out because of one thing.

When Laue was born, he was healthy but due to low prenatal blood circulation his left arm never grew past his elbow. His right arm fully developed but his left arm never has. As a child growing up because of what his parents and most thought was a disability for him, he was often encouraged to play soccer but refused. Laue was interested in basketball and was determined to play the sport he really loved. As a youngster he had problems playing with only one hand and struggled a lot but he never gave up. By the eighth grade he had grown taller and was able to easily palm the ball and dunk with one hand.

Once he reached Amador Valley high School he was able to develop his game even more and as a junior he was the starting center and a force to be reckoned with on the basketball court. While other players he sometimes dominated got attention from big name schools he still received no offers. After breaking his leg he missed his senior year, which at the time was hard for him. For Laue and many other high school athletes trying to earn a full scholarship to any school, your senior year is your last chance to prove your critics wrong.

It seem things might change even after being featured in a 2007 Sports Illustrated article he still had no takers. Instead of giving up he decided to do a prep year at Fork Union Military Academy in Virginia. It was there that most mid major coaches saw a kid who really did have potential. Unfortunately he was still only being recruited by a majority of division three schools.

Finally in March of 2009 he received a scholarship offer from division 1 Manhattan College. It was not the same, as going to UNC or Syracuse for basketball but it didn’t matter. After years of hard work and listening to people tell him it’s not possible Laue made his dream come true. He had already left the sunny coastline of California to attend a military academy in order to get were he always new he could be, and finally his chance had arrived.

For all the doubters in his ability to compete against division 1 competition, they will get to see on November 14, when Manhattan takes on N.J.I.T in their first game of the year. It will also be the new beginning of Laue’s journey to become a legitimate division 1 player. He knows its his first year at the college level and does not expect to become an All American over night, but he is expecting to prove his point that don’t matter how much people try to hold you down, hard work and determination can get you anywhere.

Bones, Dean And Me $16.33 Bones, Dean and Me is the story of a boy who was recruited to play college basketball by Dean Smith of North Carolina and by Bones McKinney of Wake Forest during the formative years of Coach Smith and the concluding years of Coach McKinney. At the same time the athlete is pursued by the Morehead Scholarship Committee at UNC. He first accepts the Morehead scholarship and signs an Athletic Grant-In-Aid with Coach Smith only to “flee” to Wake Forest at the last minute because of a multitude of life’s challenges. In North Carolina his path was crossed by Billy Cunningham, Larry Brown and a host of Tarheel greats. He transferred to Wake Forest and played with Brian Piccalo and for Wake Forest during the 1965, 1966 and 1967 seasons. The question is posed within, “why would any sensible young man eschew Coach Smith and the Morehead Scholarship (one of the nation’s elite awards) and an opportunity to play in the Final Four in favor of playing with Wake Forest?” The second half of the book involves stories along “tobacco road” playing Division I basketball not only in the ACC but also at Ohio State, Purdue, Cincinnati and at many venues such as the Palestra, Cameron Indoor and St. John arena. It is believed that this is a story never told; i.e. the story of an atypical recruit at a time in America just before integration and just as big time college basketball became “big time”.

Everyone’s all-Americans: Race, men’s college athletics, and the ideal of equal opportunity. $69 Reactions to the integration of college sports provide a unique perspective on shifting attitudes toward race, manliness, equality, and the quest for civil rights. As previously-white institutions of higher learning gradually (and grudgingly) opened their playing fields to African-American athletes in men’s basketball and football, black and white spectators interpreted mixed-race team sports in often contradictory ways. This dissertation analyzes the public discourse that surrounded five black male pioneer athletes at predominantly white schools. It reveals the anxieties, hopes, frustrations, and triumphs of ordinary Americans on both sides of the color line as they encountered new public representations of black masculinity, negotiated the changing terms of racial identity, and reconsidered the American ideal of equal opportunity. Although often relegated to the realms of entertainment and leisure, college sports were central to discussions of fairness and equality in American life, as observers consistently employed sports metaphors, such as the “level playing field,” to discuss the ideal of equal opportunity. Just as countless Americans debated, and continue to debate, policies such as affirmative action, differing expectations of sports as a model for society revealed the tensions that underlay the significant changes in the nation’s racial politics. The range of these diverse reactions can be seen in the project’s five case studies: Paul Robeson at Rutgers College, 1915-19; the 1939 University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) football team; Wilt Chamberlain at the University of Kansas, 1955-58; Charlie Scott at the University of North Carolina (UNC), 1966-70; and the integration of football at the University of Alabama, 1969-73.

Excerpt: The 2009 Meineke Car Care Bowl was the eighth edition of the college football bowl game, and was played at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. The game started at 4:30 PM US EST on Saturday, December 26, 2009 and was telecasted on ESPN and ESPN360. The Pittsburgh Panthers defeated the North Carolina Tar Heels 1917 with a 33-yard field goal and .52 seconds remaining in the game. Pitt (93) finished second in the Big East after losing at home to Cincinnati on in a game decided by a missed extra point. The Panthers played in the Charlotte bowl (then known as the Continental Tire Bowl) in 2003, losing to Virginia 2316. North Carolina (84) made its third appearance in the bowl game, and its second in a row. They lost to West Virginia in the 2008 game, 3130. A deal was initially in the works to have UNC play fellow traditional college basketball power Kentucky in the Music City Bowl. However, this came undone when all of the ACC’s top-tier bowl selections passed on ACC title game loser Clemson, forcing the Music City Bowl to select the Tigers. The ACC’s bowl selection rules do not allow the conference title game loser to fall below the Music City Bowl, which has the fifth pick from ACC bowl-eligible teams. This sent the Tar Heels to the Meineke Car Care Bowl, which has the sixth pick. The game will mark the seventh time that the two schools have played each other and the first time they will meet in the post-season. Entering the game, UNC led the series 42 with the last meeting being … More:

Off the Rim: Basketball and Other Religions in a Carolina Childhood $24.95  “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.            Growing up in a small town in the hills of North Carolina where basketball was king, he became a rabid UNC basketball fan (like many others) at the tender age of thirteen during the Tar Heels’ “magical” 32–0 national championship season in 1956–1957. He starred as a high school basketball player and lived a dream by “walking on” the highly successful 1961–1962 Carolina freshman team. That was also the year Dean Smith was elevated to head coach of the Heels. Hobson observed firsthand Coach Smith’s difficult early days before he became the winningest coach in college basketball.            Forced to find a substitute for his beloved sport after not making the varsity his sophomore year, Hobson turned to the romance of books, both reading and writing them. Changing his major to English, he discovered the joys of William Faulkner and Richard Wright, Robert Penn Warren, Flannery O’Connor, and H. L. Mencken, and made a career teaching American literature.              This is a book about basketball that is more than a book about basketball. It is, in the beginning, a depiction of a part of the South that departs from the usual idea of Dixie, a look into the culture, religion, and politics of the Carolina hills. It is a portrait of the people who made up the South, including the
