Another great Valvano resource is Feinstein's "The Legends Club: Dean Smith, Mike Krzyzewski, Jim Valvano."
Replete with Iona references including that Valvano never "completely got over" the NCAA loss to Georgetown in 1980.

Valvano: "I'll always believe if we'd beaten Georgetown, we could have gone to the Final Four. We were that good."
