5.75" x 8.75", 312 page hardcover with dustjacket titled "YOU SCORED ONE MORE POINT THAN A DEAD MAN": THE IRRESISTIBLE, SARDONIC HUMOR OF ABE LEMONS selected, arranged and backgrounded by Robert Heard/ Lemons-Heard Company, First Edition (unstated), Copyright 1978/ A.E. "Abe" Lemons (November 21, 1922 ? September 2, 2002) was an American college basketball player and coach. As a head coach at Oklahoma City University, Pan American University and the University of Texas at Austin, he compiled a record of 594?343 in 34 seasons. He certainly wasn't afraid to criticize players, something rare in today's era of sensitivity training and pronouncements of love for "team families." Perhaps Lemons' most famous line was one he said he told a player who had scored but a single point by halftime. "You scored one more point than a dead man," Lemons proclaimed, giving birth to the title of a book of Abe's quotes that was subtitled "the irresistible, sardonic humor of Abe Lemons" edited by the late Longhorn-friendly writer, Robert Heard. The book itself complete and in FINE or better condition with some overall light wear. The dustjacket is in VERY GOOD condition with some overall wear that includes some creases and wear mainly to the bottom edge of the back cover.
