An Incomplete and Inaccurate History of Sport: . . . and Other Random Thoughts from Childhood to Fatherhood»rank: 8332by: Kenny Mayne
0ur opinion: :Painstakingly faithful to its title, Kenny Mayne’s book is neither complete nor is it particularly accurate. 0stensibly an A-to-Z encyclopedia of all known sports, many sports are never mentioned. There’s not a word about rugby, volleyball, Roller Derby, swimming, or (shockingly) Basque pelota or shinty. There is a chapter about sliding, but none about skiing.

0ur opinion: :Bo knows hoops. As a member of the exclusive 5OO-win club, University of Wisconsin head coach Bo Ryan has the second highest winning percentage among active coaches (with at least 5OO victories) in college basketball, second only to North Carolina's Roy Williams.
