Author Description

In Renaissance, author Timothy Thompson takes us back to a golden age of Baltimore basketball--the 1970s--when many factors coalesced to turn Baltimore colleges into basketball powerhouses. Reenaissance explores the perfect storm that created a magical time in Baltimore sports history, when each local school had its turn on center-stage to enjoy the glory of packed gyms, championships, and life in the spotlight. No era in Baltimore basketball history--before or since--rivals the 1970s renaissance. Renaissance beings that golden age back to life.
