DESCRIPTION:
Off camera, he has been involved in organized basketball as a player, coach, and advocate since 1960. Don Shelby is widely considered one of the most accomplished local TV journalists in the country. Written with the same humor and compassion that have made Shelby a broadcasting legend, The Season Never Ends proves once and for all that the fundamental principles of basketball are the fundamental principles of life.. Inducted into Indiana's Delaware County Athletic Hall of Fame in 2003, Shelby has been compiling stories of pivotal basketball games--those he has played, and those that have inspired him--for over twenty years
College I had to read this book for my sociology class in college but found that it was a amazing read and definitly reccomend it to everyone regardless if you have played basketball which i only played a year back when i was a kid. Great gift for a coach or teacher This is a great book for anyone that has been on a team or cheered on a team before. When I say team it doesn't necessarily have to be a sports team. It is great for a school teacher, work group or a favorite fan.. "Great book!" according to Andrew W.. I'm not the biggest basketball fan but I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Lots of good life lessons written into humorous short stories. Well done Mr.Shelby!
Shelby was also a basketball player, leading his team to the 1965 Delaware County (Indiana) championship, scoring twenty-five points in the final game, and being named to the All-County All-Star Team. Despite his professional accomplishments in the field of broadcast journalism, the face he shaves every morning is still that of a seventeen-year-old basketball player. As an ad

''Every basketball coach, player, and fan needs to read this book.''-- Tubby Smith, Head Coach, University of Minnesota ''Don Shelby's lifelong love affair with the game of basketball comes shining through in this book. Don's real subject is the richness of life and the lessons learned-if only we step up and take our shot.''--Will Weaver, author of A Gravestone Made of Wheat and Other Stories and The Last Hunter''Absolutely delightful. Filled with witty and wonderful stories, he shows us that sometimes a game is more than a game.''--Ahmad Rash
