His teams won thirteen conference championships, made eleven NCAA Tournament appearances, and led the nation in defense fourteen times." Throughout his reflections on a lifetime spent on the Basketball court and the bench, Carril demonstrates deep respect for the contest, his empathy and engagement with the players, humility with his own achievements, a pragmatic vision of discipline and fundamentals, and an enduring joy in the game.
