For the last 20 years, they've used a unique, extremely chaotic playing style called "The System" to turn the game on its head and lead to the November 2012 game where Jack Taylor scored 138 points. What makes "The System" so different? How does it work? Why do so many people seem to hate it? Why would a team choose to play basketball that way? Do the Pioneers just want to break records and get on TV? And most importantly, how does one guy even manage to take so many shots in a 40-minute game? Preston answers these questions and more, drawing on extensive interviews with players and coaches as well as his own experience playing for the Pioneers. 650 0 $a Basketball $x Coaching. 600 10 $a Arseneault, David M. 610 20 $a Grinnell College $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Basketball $x Records $z Grinnell. $z Grinnell. 650 0 $a Success. 941 $a 2 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20240302011708.0 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20150210012047.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B813B31AB0F211E4ADA758E4DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
