Author Danny Stooksbury just came out with National Title. While I may be a bit biased (I did write the foreward for the book), I can tell you that Danny put in a tremendous amount of time, effort, research, etc. into this book, and came out with the most detailed and well-researched book on the early years of the NAIB (now NAIA) National Tournament.
Stooksbury tells the story through various articles of the times, as well as personal notes and quotes from Emil Liston and Dr. James Naismith. He details how the tournament has become an American institution, from the early years with Dr. Naismith and Liston, to what has now become the nation’s longest-running collegiate National Championship of any sport.
You may read more about the book, and order it, at www.naibbook.com. Also, Danny has put up a lot of historical basketball facts about the tournament on the Facebook page for the book: http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/National-Title/108061439252091
By writing this book, Danny Stooksbury has done a tremendous service for those that appreciate history and collegiate basketball. He should be commended for his efforts to chronicle and preserve a great piece of history. Danny will be available during the 2011 Buffalo Funds-NAIA Division I Men’s Basketball National Championship in Kansas City to sell and sign books.
