Description

 							
  
  
  
  The Amateur
Athletic Union (AAU) has long symbolized the idealism of amateur athletic competition. For basketball especially, the
AAU provided an opportunity for athletes to showcase their skills for the benefit of the team and the sport, not the
bottom line. In The Golden Age of Amateur Basketball, Adolph H. Grundman recounts the history of the AAU National
Tournament during its golden age, 1921 through 1968.
   
  Grundman analyzes the early tournaments, examining
rule changes, key players, and dominant teams. He explores the rivalries between corporations for amateur dominance
after 1935, the competition between the AAU and the National Collegiate Athletic Association for representation in
Olympic basketball, the question of just how amateur “amateur” basketball really was, and the reasons for
the demise of postcollegiate amateur basketball. The Golden Age of Amateur Basketball provides the first history of AAU
basketball and identifies players and teams that made major contributions to basketball history.

  Editorial Reviews
  Review
  "This book is a great read for historians and fans of old-time basketball, and its index is a who's who of early
cagers, players, and coaches who went on to great careers in college and professional sports."—Choice

  “Grundman’s book is much more than a history of amateur basketball; it reflects the
soul growth of the game by those who truly loved basketball and did not trade that love for money.”—Terry
Rand, AAU All-American, Marquette University Basketball Hall of Fame
  (Terry Rand)
  
  “Dolph
Grundman captures the excitement and nostalgia of the ‘greatest basketball tournament’ of its era. I
participated in nine tournaments as both a player and coach, but boy, did I learn a lot about the history of this
tournament.”—Gary Thompson, Iowa State and Phillips 66er AAU All-American and television analyst for
college basketball

  A sports era preserved in
print
  By R. Hilker on July 13, 2008
  The author does an excellent job detailing 40-plus years of
amateur basketball history in a long-ago era that preceded today's "all-about-money" NBA. It is interesting to note that
many of the great players of that time wound up with successful careers working for the companies for which they played
basketball--Denver Central Bankers, Akron Goodyears, Peoria Caterpillars, Bartlesville Phillips 66,etc. As one who grew
up watching those teams, I have to think that sports today would better off today with the old National Industrial
Basketball League than the $100 million contracts we now have.
