Product Description
The Mob figures fixing the NCAA Final Four should be as easy as pushing a pimp off a bridge. But they haven’t figured on an unknown point-guard from a nowhere Kentucky town—Mike Kramer, a poor country boy with a great heart and everything to prove. The World Broadcasting Company (WBC), holder of broadcast rights for the NCAA Final Four, is in big ratings trouble, and its head honchos know it. With Austin Peay and other Cinderella teams clogging recent tournaments, sportswriters are starting to call it “The Final Bore.” Desperate to hold onto their fat paychecks and their pride, WBC’s execs see just one solution: maneuvering the four teams with the largest followings into the Final Four. How to do it? Hire a Mob contact to put in The Fix.

INCREDIBLE STORY
Rating  (5)
Date: 2002-05-22
Never picked up a book any better than The Fix. From the startling opening scene to Mike Kramer's last shot, I was totally engrossed. A book you will love and not want to put down! When everyone says he can't, the main character, Mike, finds a way to pull himself through his ordeal, and it made me stand up and cheer. I think the writer did a great job here. A book for everyone. Some language, but overall this is an A plus.

Exeptional read and important message to everyone, not just college basketball players. This was terrific. Perhaps as good as any book I've ever read. Mike Kramer is a person I wish my daughter would meet. This is a must, must read.

Best novel of sports fiction I've ever seen. Not only do you go inside college basketball, but you also see the torcher a young man lives as he tries to navigate through the problems of life. This was an excellent read. The mob tries to fix the Final Four, and Mike Kramer, the lead character, is there to stop them!

I heard the author on WHAS Radio one evening in the spring, then bought his book at Hawley-Cooke. I was very pleased that he's from Louisville because this is an excellent story and it's written better than many others I've picked up. I had an interest because I played high school basketball, but my sister read it and she liked it because it has a stirring romance to it. I watched Schneider play basketball, and his main character is a lot like the way he played. Good, good read, I'd recommend it to everyone.
