Chronicles the story of the brand new coach and her underdog women’s basketball team On the University of Oregon who overcame administrative and technical obstacles to play a winning season
Whether you are a rabid sports fan or flip to some other channel fast, read this terrific, exhilarating story of a year within the life of a women’s basketball team. On the University of Oregon–as at most schools–women’s athletics drew the short straw: spartan quarters, bad practice times, low-paid coaching body of workers, and little respect. In 1993, ambitious new head coach Jody Runge sought to modify this. A competitive player who had benefited from 1970s laws demanding equity between female and male athletics, Runge whipped her lagging team toward winning at the same time as legally pressuring the school to ante up. Full Court Press is remarkably suspenseful and dramatic as Runge and her team got down to “jump on ’em and show ’em who lives here.”
