Anecdotal

I'm a big fan of ACC basketball, and I learned a lot about the history of the Big Four - stories about past teams, players, coaches that I hadn't heard before. Just be aware that it's a survey, a collection of anecdotes spottily covering the last almost hundred years, and only so much can fit in the book. It's not a comprehensive history by any means and huge portions of that history are skipped over or only mentioned in passing; but it is well worth reading.
