Gene Wojciechowski

He also reported on the NFL for both The Denver Post (1983–1984) and The Dallas Morning News (1984–1987) before switching to back to college football and basketball for the Los Angeles Times (1987–1996).

Wojciechowski authored a novel, About 80 Percent Luck, plus a non-fiction book, Cubs Nation: 162 Games.

These works include The Bus: My Life In and Out of a Helmet (Doubleday 2007) with Jerome Bettis; I Love Being the Enemy: A Season on the Court with the NBA’s Best Shooter and Sharpest Tongue (Simon & Schuster 1995) with Reggie Miller; Nothing but Net: Just Give Me the Ball and Get Out of the Way (Hyperion Books 1995) with Bill Walton; and My Life on a Napkin: Pillow Mints, Playground Dreams and Coaching the Runnin’ Utes (Hyperion 1999) with Rick Majerus.

The Last Great Game: Duke vs. Kentucky, and the 2.1 Seconds That Changed Basketball by Wojciechowski was released by Blue Rider Press in 2012.
