"Phoenix Rising" takes college basketball fans through a mid-major success story
S For Story/10507665
New book details UW-Green Bay's rise to prominence under Dick Bennett
GREEN BAY, Wis. - s4story -- The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay men's basketball program was the epitome of mid-major mediocrity when it hired Dick Bennett as its head coach in 1985. Relatively new to the high-pressure world of NCAA Division I athletics, UWGB took a chance on a Division III coaching legend in the hopes of resurrecting its once-proud program.
Author Aaron A. Mitchell tells the story of how the UW-Green Bay program rose to national prominence by focusing on the elements of team sports within its control rather than dwelling on its limitations in Phoenix Rising: A Playbook for Building a Mid-Major College Basketball Program (M&B Global Solutions Inc.)
Mitchell describes how the Phoenix rode Bennett's core pillars of developing a successful program to reach rarified air seldom experienced by its mid-major brethren. Achieving consistent success in college sports often comes down to one unrelenting variable – money. Whether in the form of superior facilities, recruiting budgets, coaching salaries, or swanky gear, programs that exist in a state of financial abundance generally enjoy greater success than their budget-strapped counterparts.

Featuring more than 100 photos, Phoenix Rising includes a foreword by former Purdue coach Gene Keady, a legacy (afterword) by former Butler coach Barry Collier, and dozens of interviews to craft the definitive history of UW-Green Bay men's basketball.
Phoenix Rising is available in paperback and digital formats on Amazon.com at https://www.amazon.com/Phoenix-Rising-Playbook-Mid-Major-Basketball/dp/1942731396.
