The Assist: Hoops, Hope, In this engaging book about Boston's Charlestown High School basketball team, Swidey, a staff writer for the Boston Globe Magazine, explains that being part of the Charlestown program was no guarantee that a kid would become a success.... Head coach Jack O'Brien benefited from the team aside from its gaudy won-loss record. |
Unmarried and with a shattered family history, O'Brien found that the rigid team structure... offered the trappings of home.
Like a concerned parent, O'Brien worked year-round to keep his kids away from the overwhelming daily wave of crime and bad influences and into the security of a college-educated future.
Neil Swidey masterfully shows over the course of two seasons the struggle O'Brien and his players face in maintaining success on and off the court. The coach observes the lives of his two star players, Ridley Johnson and Jason Hood White, go in very different directions after they land out-of-state college scholarships.
Swidey expertly examines the slippery slope of Charlestown's success, tying it into Boston's disastrous busing scandal and an underwhelming legal system that perpetuates crime, while he builds narrative momentum and details his subjects with the touch of a skilled novelist.
This is a prodigiously reported, compulsively readable book that readers (sport fans or not) will savor.
