"Tales from the Cincinnati Bearcats Locker Room" covers several coaching eras, from former National Football League standout John "Socko" Wiethe (1946-52) to the driven and intense Bob Huggins, who took over the program in 1989 and led the Bearcats back to national prominence, and many more. Former "Cincinnati Enquirer" sports editor Michael Perry, a former UC basketball beat reporter, interviewed more than 75 former players, coaches, recruits, and basketball staff members to deliver a comprehensive look inside the Bearcat basketball program.
