Reviews
" Making March Madness will be a history that sport historians, students, reporters, and college basketball fans will want to consult on a regular basis. A comprehensive, authoritative college basketball history ... a great book." --Chris Elzey, coeditor of DC Sports: The Nation's Capital at Play, "Chad Carlson offers a well-written and entertaining addition to the tomes on the rise of college basketball to become today's 'March Madness.' He chronicles from the beginnings of the game to the 1951 point-shaving scandals that rocked the nation's embrace of college basketball. ... Scholars of the timespan covered, sports historians, basketball coaches, and those interested in the development of sports management as a profession--as well as fans--will benefit from Carlson's enlightening work." --Paul M. McInerny, Journal of Sport History , Fall 2018, "Based on archival material as well as a wealth of other primary and secondary sources, Making March Madness provides an in-depth account of a nearly 30-year period of college men's basketball postseason championship tournaments. The book focuses primarily on the NCAA and NIT, but includes other, smaller tournaments as well. Writing chronologically, Carlson (Hope College) examines the people, decisions, teams, venues, rules, finances, games, and policies that shaped the growth and decline of postseason tournaments in the first half of the 20th century. The strength of this in-depth coverage, however, is also at times a weakness; the detail tends to get descriptive rather than providing a broader historical or cultural context One exception is Carlson's excellent discussion of the racial climate in the US and how each tournament dealt with racial exclusion or inclusion within a larger historical context. A highlight of the work is Carlson's examination of these tournaments during the war years and the impact WW II had on players, colleges, and the tournaments, such as charity events and teams' other contributions to the war effort. An engaging read." --A. Curtis, Choice Reviews , June 2018 Summing Up: Recommended. All readers., "Informative and enjoyable ... will be of use to scholars and aficionados alike." --Murry Nelson, author of Big Ten Basketball, 1943-1972, "Those of us fortunate enough to teach courses on March Madness will appreciate Carlson's masterful coverage of its origin story, and the foundation it provides for other readings on the evolution of the tournament such as Aram Goudsouzian's King of the Court or Johnny Smith's Sons of Westwood. But sport history and even business history courses could make use of a book that writes the unknown history of a very well-known topic. Although the density of the text may not be suitable for lower-level or underprepared college students, upper-level courses and graduate seminars will doubtless engender a lot of conversation if they choose to assign Making March Madness." --Andrew R.M. Smith, Sport in American History , January 2018, " Making March Madness will be a history that sport historians, students, reporters, and college basketball fans will want to consult on a regular basis. A comprehensive, authoritative college basketball history ... a great book." --Chris Elzey,coeditor of DC Sports: The Nation's Capital at Play, "Chad Carlson's entertaining and insightful story captures the drama of college basketball's evolution from a regional sport to a national phenomenon. An essential read for sports historians and basketball fans." --Johnny Smith, author of The Sons of Westwood: John Wooden, UCLA, and the Dynasty That Changed College Basketball, "Chad Carlson's entertaining and insightful story captures the drama of college basketball's evolution from a regional sport to a national phenomenon. An essential read for sports historians and basketball fans." --Johnny Smith,author of The Sons of Westwood: John Wooden, UCLA, and the Dynasty That Changed College Basketball

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
