The story of how Gonzaga basketball rose to prominence in the national landscape of college basketball is a story worth telling, but it is also a hard story to tell, mainly because the story hasn’t finished yet. It all began in 1999, but there hasn’t been a conclusion quite yet, as the elusive Final Four and beyond appearance dogs the Bulldogs, who year after year keep finding themselves in the NCAA Tournament.
That doesn’t mean the story can’t be told yet, and Bud Withers does a fantastic job of providing one of the most comprehensive books on what makes Gonzaga in his newest book Glory Hounds.
