Dear Librarian, Here’s a sports book for patrons of all ages. COACH TEX WINTER has “all the right stuff – integrity, grit, and honor,” says Kathi Appelt, Faculty Chair for Vermont College’s Writing for Children program. In colorful scrapbook style, readers learn how Tex Winter scripted Michael Jordan’s role with the Chicago Bulls during six NBA championships and choreographed the dance between Kobe Bryant and Shaq O’Neal for three Los Angeles Lakers NBA championships. On every page, photographs, news clippings, and quotes enhance Tex’s life narrative. Tex’s ideas about basketball and teamwork began at age ten when his family pulled together following his father’s death. Landing fighter planes on carrier ships reinforced his ideas about teamwork, and now in his sixtieth consecutive season of coaching the world’s best players, Tex polishes an important legacy.
