Reviews
" Full Court Press is an essential read in which American sports, history, and law converge with the transformational nature of Pat Summitt, who impacted all of the above." --Sally Jenkins, author of Sum it Up and Reach for the Summit, with Pat Summitt "This book is a three-point shot of basketball, law, and women's history. With a lawyer's eye for detail and a storyteller's wit, this book weaves the story of two women--and two fathers--who ultimately would change the sport of basketball for girls in the state of Tennessee." --Maria M. Cornelius, author of The Final Season: The Perseverance of Pat Summitt "Full Court Press speaks to everyone engaged in sports in the post-Title IX era. It's a fast-paced story of a determined female high school basketball player who fought to change rules so that girls could play the same game as boys. The courtroom scene comes to a climactic finish with the testimony of a young Coach Pat Head Summitt, beginning her long career as an advocate of fairness for all." --Jenny Moshak, author of Ice 'n' Go: Score in Sports and Life "What a nice description of the progression of women's basketball in the 1970s! Bill Haltom and Amanda Swanson paint a very accurate picture of the environment in women's athletics at that time in this new book."--from the Foreword, " Full Court Press is an essential read in which American sports, history, and law converge with the transformational nature of Pat Summitt, who impacted all of the above." --Sally Jenkins, author of Sum it Up and Reach for the Summit, with Pat Summitt "This book is a three-point shot of basketball, law, and women's history.

Synopsis
When Victoria Cape moved to Oak Ridge, Tennessee, in the early 1970s, she had no idea that her desire to play basketball would change the game for women and the sport in Tennessee. Encouraged to sign up for basketball by her athletic father, Victoria was in for a shock: the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association endorsed an entirely different form of the game for high school women than the version of basketball commonly played around the country. Women played six-on-six basketball, in which offensive players stayed on one half of the court, and defensive players on the other half--defenders could spend their entire careers without taking a shot. Victoria Cape sued the TSSAA, and her lawsuit paved the way for women to play basketball by the same rules as men and served as an early test case of groundbreaking Title IX legislation. Further adding to the case's history-making précis was the presence of a young Pat Summitt, recently elevated to head coach of the Tennessee Lady Volunteers, who bravely testified on behalf of Cape during the lawsuit. Full Court Press is a valuable addition to research on how individual initiative can bring about social change--in Tennessee, in the sporting world, and as a part of the broader struggle for women's equality. Written in a lighthearted and inspiring style, this book is a must-read for anyone fascinated by the many achievements of Pat Summitt, Tennessee women's basketball, or women's sports history in general.
