Reddit reviews Don't Put Me In, Coach: My Incredible NCAA Journey from the End of the Bench to the End of the Bench

For those unaware, the author of the piece, Mark Titus, played with Greg at OSU and is pretty talented in his own right. His blog was titled "Club Trillion", due to the fact he rode the bench at OSU and his box scores would often be 1 minute played followed by zeros across the board. His book titled Don't Put Me In Coach is a pretty good read. Here is a video of one of his funnier moments, where he announced to the crowd he would returning to school and not declaring for the NBA draft.

For those who are not familiar, Mark Titus wrote this article. Frequenters of Grantland (RIP) and the college basketball subreddit know him well. He is a very funny writer who wrote this book about his time as a walk-on for Ohio State. He also writes about college basketball in the same style as this article. Don't take everything he says seriously, he doesn't even take everything he says seriously.

Last Chance U coach Jason Brown wrote a book called Hate Me Now, Love Me Later that’s gotten pretty good reviews. I bought it but haven’t had the chance to read it yet.

Also, not football, but still college sports. Don’t Put Me In Coach by Mark Titus is one of the funniest books I’ve ever read.

i highly recommend this book for you http://www.amazon.com/Dont-Put-Me-Coach-Incredible/dp/0307745384

Of the books I've read:

• A Season on the Brink - John Feinstein Feinstein's chronicling of Bob Knight the 1985-1986 Indiana Hoosiers. The book was very successful and Feinstein followed it up with a number of inside looks at college basketball. 10/10
  
• The Last Amateurs It's about the Patriot League which, at the time of publication, was one of two conferences that didn't award athletic scholarships (Ivy was the other). 7/10
  
• Basketball on Paper - Dean Oliver Oliver is the granddaddy of basketball analytics. His examples are primarily focused on the NBA, but it's an interesting read that might change your perspective on how you watch basketball. 8/10
  
• Don't Put Me In Coach - Mark Titus Maybe it's just because I was a big fan of Club Trillion back in the day, but I think it's a really funny and interesting read about what big time college basketball is like today. Like A Season on the Brink, it helps you realize that, regardless of the era, these guys are just college kids. 7/10
  
• Playing for Knight - Steve Alford There are some interesting Indiana stories in here. But whereas A Season the Brink is enjoyable and a must read for any college basketball fan, this one is probably just worth reading if you're an Indiana fan. 5/10
  
• Last Dance: Behind the Scenes at the Final Four - John Feinstein Eh. Not as good as some of the other ones I've read by him. 4/10.
  
  On my bookshelf but I haven't read them yet:
  
  
• Underdawgs - David Woods The story of Butler's first trip to the Final Four. This is the one I'm most excited to pick up next.
  
• Rising from the Ashes - Terry Hutchins It's about Indiana's dumpster fire leading up through it's return to the Top 25 in 2011-2012. Honestly, I only bought it because Hutchins and Woods were selling them side by side at a Butler Indiana game and I felt weird buying just the Butler book while wearing Indiana gear. It's a story that I already know by heart because I lived through it so I might never get around to reading it.
  
• The Last Great Game - Gene Wojciechowski About 1992 Kentucky - Duke. Haven't read it yet. Although I certainly plan to.

Don't Put Me In, Coach is supposed to be pretty good.
