Foul Trouble Description
Bestselling sportswriter John Feinstein exposes the big money and back-room deals that pervade college-basketball recruiting in this fast-break young adult novel. Terrell Jamerson is the #1 high school basketball player in the country. His team is poised to win State, top colleges are lining up to give him scholarships, and everyone says he could play in the NBA tomorrow. But it only takes one false step to lose everything.
Danny Wilcox is Terrell’s best friend and teammate, and a top prospect himself, but these days it seems like
everyone wants to get close to Terrell: the sneaker guys, the money managers, the college boosters. They show up offering fast cars, hot girls, and cold, hard cash. They say they just want to help, but their kind of help could get Terrell disqualified.
Danny and Terrell better keep their eyes on the ball if they hope to last the season.
John Feinstein has been praised as “the best writer of sports books in America today” (
The Boston Globe), and he proves it again in this fast-paced novel.
“Thorough and suspenseful; a must-read for those interested in basketball and the dealings surrounding the sport.” —

My 12 yr old son is reading "Foul Trouble" way past his bedtime. I say that is criteria for 5 stars!
By Michele Keen
My 12-year old son read this book and demanded that I read it too. I thought it was well written (John Feinstein is a great writer - read "Caddy for life") and dealt honestly with the challenges a young star player would face. My son absolutely loved it and I thought it had some positive messages for him packaged in a compelling manner. I highly recommend it for sports-crazed kids.
