Not Recommended for College is a story of a young man who dreamed he could be the best he could be, but wasn't sure of the conveyance to get him there. Basketball gave him that carriage! Dribble...cut...pivot...shoot...Score! The rhythm of basketball surged through his veins, but learning the basics of an education were the farthest from his thoughts. The rigor of the classroom was not an easy task to achieve, but without eligibility, basketball could not happen.
Through the quarters of his life, author Marty Urand's experiences and tenacity moved him steadily up the court and his approach to coaching/teaching developed. He shares his story in this wonderfully stimulating autobiography, Not Recommended for College.
