Editorial Reviews

In the new e-book "The Cornerstone of Arizona Basketball: The Eddie Smith Story," Steve Kerr writes a foreword that says: "I truly believe there were three people most responsible for (Arizona's) quick turnaround: One, of course, was Lute Olson. He was the architect. The other two were Eddie Smith and Pete Williams." His legacy at Arizona isn't that he scored 500 points in 1985. It's that he got the boys-to-men transition right and continues to show the way it's done.
