| book description |

As a coach at Loyola Marymount in California, Paul Westhead designed his highly unusual signature run-and-gun offense that came to be known as â€œThe System.â€ The Speed Game offers a vibrant account of how he helped develop a style of basketball that not only won at the highest levels but went on to influence basketball as itâ€™s played today. Known for implementing an up-tempo, quick-possession, high-octane offense, Westhead is the only coach to have won championships in both the NBA and WNBA. But his long career can be defined by one simple question heâ€™s heard from journalists, fellow coaches, his wife, and, well, himself: Why? Why did he insist on playing such a controversial style of basketball that could vary from brilliant to busted? Westhead speaks candidly here about the feathers he ruffled and about his own shortcomings as he takes readers from Philadelphiaâ€™s West Catholic High, where he couldnâ€™t make varsity, to the birth of the Showtime Lakers and to the powerhouse he built nearly ten years later at Loyola, where his team set records likely never to be approached. Westhead says he always found himself telling prospective bosses, â€œMy speed game is gonna knock your socks off!â€ So will his story and what it could do to bring back a popular style of play.
