Later parts of the book feel rushed, and large chunks of seasons, and even Duke-UNC games, are simply whisked by at times. As another reviewer noted, there are many perspectives that are missed entirely, especially from players and fans as the later parts of the book turn a bit clinical. Numerous critiques of Coach K (an undeniably divisive individual) are not cleanly balanced by many of the critiques available to the author's crush, Dean Smith.
