Andrea Chamblee: Co-Author of “The Capital of Basketball: A History of D.C. Area High School Hoops”

December 16, 2019 by Pure Hoops

Normally, a story about a book is pretty dry. But this is no ordinary book and no ordinary story. Andrea Chamblee’s sportswriter husband John McNamara was murdered in the Capital Gazette mass shooting in June 2018. He had been researching a book on Washington, D.C. area high school hoops for 13 years. Five weeks after his death, his beloved wife walked into his office and discovered all of his research material and notes about the book. Andrea then decided that her mission was to complete the book and make sure it was published. In this compelling interview, Mike and Andrea discuss the love story between Andrea and John, the feelings of loss and loneliness, the challenges she faced in completing the project, and the triumph of finally publishing the book and watching it become the number one basketball book on Amazon. Andrea is a remarkable human being and the book is a tribute to her late husband and his dedication to the sport he loved so much.

@McNuttMonica & @Kingmcclure22 are great because they always have suggestions on how to make things better. Their takes on the @BluejayMBB situation are strong. And in spite of this promo ... @BaylorMBB gets plenty of love! From @purehoopsmedia
