Leadership book about a basketball coach who was really into excellence; for instance he made people learn to tie their shoes correctly before he allowed them onto the court. Any ideas? My boss wants a bunch of us to read it but we can't do that if we don't have a title.

I second Wooden on leadership. From a page found on a google search:

"I've heard that the great UCLA basketball coach John Wooden taught his players how to play the game by first teaching them how to lace up and tie their shoes."

Plus, if you "search inside" on the Amazon page for the words tie shoe, you'll see a couple of pages from the book itself that mention that.

That is absolutely, 100 percent John Wooden.
