Area coaches talk hoops in new book

Prepared to Win is a collection of interviews with 14 basketball coaches from Auglaize, Mercer and Shelby counties, all who have guided teams to the state tournament during the past three decades. The book covers a variety of topics from practice, handling players and parents, game philosophy and memorable moments.
