PHILADELPHIA - Saint Joseph's Hall of Fame coach Jack McKinney will be signing copies of a new book he co-authored entitled, "Tales from Saint Joseph's Hardwood: The Hawk Will Never Die!" on Wednesday, November 16 at 2 p.m. in the Drexel Library on campus.

McKinney co-authored the book with Robert Gordon, while Hawks coach Phil Martelli contributed the forward.

McKinney will have copies of the book available for sale at the signing, and they will also be sold at the Hawks' season opener on Friday evening.
