Coach Dick Katte's secret is simple and straightforward; work very hard and demand the same from your team, adapt to the changes in players and parents over time and never waver from the core principles that make you one of the most honored and respected coaches in the nation s high school basketball history. Katte survived two brushes with death: a brain aneurysm that burst during neurosurgery performed by a close friend from his college days and a bout with cancer nine years later that required the removal of four feet in his small intestine. Katte turned aside numerous chances to coach on a larger stage, instead choosing his role as mathematics teacher, coach and mentor to young people as well as to remain very active in his church. This book is a unique blend of faith, biography and basketball as Katte explains in detail the philosophies and special strategies that have resulted in his 79% career winning percentage, among the highest in high school basketball history.
