Ever read Patriot Reign by Michael Holley? Excellent look inside Belichick's mind. Its two or three notches below Money Ball, but a fantastically interesting book nonetheless.
Doc --
Sorry for the silence -- I've been out of town and now am just catching up.
I like Patriot Reign -- as you say, it is not as good as moneyBall, but it is also more immediately interesting to me as a Pats fan. I have not yet read Halberstam's book on Belichick.
