Page 274 of Education of a Coach, Halberstam writes:
"When we finally did meet, I suggested that there might be a book in the education of a coach ... eventually, he agreed to cooperate. ... It was also agreed upon that he would not review the book when it was finished."
Hoodie said:When the book came out and Halberstam was on his publicity tour, he said that BB had considered doing a book and had a friend approach Halberstam about it. By the time they met to discuss it, BB had decided he didn't want to do the self promotion thing and Halberstam didn't want to do an "as told to" book. But then Halberstam came up with the idea about the education of a coach and BB warmed to it.
So techincally, I guess BB did approach Halberstam. I'm not sure why it matters and why Bogus feels the need to say it ad nausem. Michael Holley addressed this bit of mis information on the radio last week and said again, he approached BB not the other way around.
Does it make BB a bad guy because he thought the story behind the 3 time SB champions would make a good book? I for one hope that when he retires, he'll do a tell all and answer all the questions I've always wanted to ask him.

Ron Borges gets what he has coming.
And I will laugh gleefully when justice is served.
Karma is relentless man. It'll track him down and dole out his sentence.
just a question of when, not if....

Not only ddi Borges lie about the book thing but his comment about" Bb blaming the owner when things fall apart. Just like he did in Cleveland", was also mean and hateful.
Not that there's anything wrong with "mean and hateful'. But, you could see it in his eyes and he looked like the Cincy game was going to BB downfall at last.
