Airballs Bill Leatherman

AIRBALLS is delightfully entertaining. It is adventurous, outrageous, revealing, shocking, bold, audacious and yet, factful. For almost a quarter century the Bridgewater College Basketball program was acclaimed for their disciplined style of play. Unknown to their own coaches, the fans and those on the outside, their off-court campus life was quite different. There was a sometimes "wild" group of student athletes, that enjoyed their college experience to the fullest.
AIRBALLS is more than wins and losses, readers are treated to never-before told stories about a basketball team and their special moments, their youthful exuberance and unforgettable tall tales.
The games were the best part, but from a unique vantage point AIRBALLS provides riveting insights into a program that went from "rags to riches," almost overnight.
One player commented, "We were recognized as one of the most disciplined teams ever to grace the hardwood, but some of these stories are scathing, yet hilarious. It is hard to believe some of my teammates were so crazy. I knew some of the guys were adventurous but had no idea they were this outrageous."
AIRBALLS is an indispensable guide to the inner workings of a team that played the game the right way, yet, at times led a shocking lifestyle off the court, as described by the young men who lived it.
If you love basketball you will find AIRBALLS to be an insightful, charming and hilarious book about limitless friendships.
