Praise for this book
"The Whistleblower is as great a tour guide to the game of basketball--and thus the game of life--as any that I've ever come across. Katz performs the difficult task of simultaneously entertaining and deeply informing, and he does it primarily through, of all figures, a referee, the intriguing and astute Ed Hightower."--Ira Berkow, Pulitzer Prize-winning former New York Times sportswriter
"A different kind of sports book--intellectually different."--Armen Keteyian, Emmy-winning sports journalist
"If you love sports, pick up this book. It will take you into a new dimension when you watch your next game."--Juan Williams, Fox News
