Historic Hoosier Gyms: Discovering Bygone Basketball Landmarks

I love the book.

If you like the legend and lore of Indiana High School Basketball, you will love this book. Kyle is a fantastic writer.

Bought this for my husband and he couldn't put it down. He loved the nostalgia of each individual story and although he did not grow up in Indiana, he related it back to the gyms he once played in during his high school years. He has since bought several copies as gifts for some of the people he works with as one is from Indy and even played in a couple of the towns featured in the book. I hope the author takes his writing skills and considers a book that looks at the old hockey rinks of the north starting with one that is still being used in Eagle River, Wisconsin. This one even features the state's hockey hall of fame.

I visited the Historic Hoosier Gym in Knightstown during my recent trip home to Indiana, so when I saw this book I knew I had to buy it. I was surprised to see the former Harrisburg High School gym listed which is now part of the Fayette Central Elementary School where I attended kindergarden many, many years ago. If reading this book doesn`t make you homesick, then you haven`t truly experienced the March Madness that is Indiana high school basketball.

Hardback copy has color pics, softball is B/W...hardback is a beautiful book

This book is a great trip down memory lane for those who love Indiana high school basketball. The descriptions of the gyms and the towns and schools in which they are located are interesting and fun. Historic Hoosier Gyms is a great addition to the rich history of high school basketball in the Hoosier state.

I knew that place was special,grade school at Williamsburg;67 to 73! Thanks for the book.

What a great idea for basketball enthusiasts. This book connects to American culture, especially to small town USA.
