Imagine a boy, five feet tall and one hundred pounds, who wants to play high school basketball. Now imagine that he was blind until the age of six and that he's the first black student to attend his suburban school. In Christgau's deft telling, it is an absorbing, often comic story of coming of age, for coach and Whiz Kids alike.
