From the back
cover:
"Proper and
quick execution of
fundamental skills is
necessary for every
basketball player.
The Basketball
Skills & Drills
package will help you
develop these skills and
add substance to your
game."
John Wooden, Former
Head Basketball Coach of
10-time NCAA Champion,
UCLA
Great basketball
players like Tim Duncan
and Dwayne Wade draw oohs and
aahs with their
spectacular moves.
But before these players
developed their
superstar flair, they
built a solid base of
fundamental skills in
all phases of the game.
Basketball Skills
& Drills provides a
perfect blueprint for
building the foundation
every well-rounded
player needs. Each
key individual skill is
taught and illustrated,
including
|
player positioning |
perimeter
moves |
| moving
without the ball |
post
moves |
| ballhandling
combined |
defense
and rebounding |
| shooting |
passing,
catching and
dribbling |
The skills and 90
drills, coaching tips
and DVD reinforce the
skill instruction,
emphasize key points and
explain how to correct
common errors. And
since individual skills
are effective only when
used within the team
concept, the book also
covers key team
principles for both ends
of the court.
Tactics for offense,
including special
situations such as
out-of-bounds plays,
will improve spacing,
ball and player
movement, shot
selection, and scoring.
Defensive tactics
emphasize positioning,
pressure and various
systems to apply in each
area or level of the
court.
To be an all-star,
you must be
fundamentally sound.
Basketball Skills &
Drills is your guide to
becoming a complete
player - one who can
change the game with
great moves and smart
play.

Editorial Reviews of the
Second Edition.
The Basketball
Highway
A
Great Book Who's 2nd Edition
is a Winner!
We
review a lot of material here
at the Basketball Highway.
For the most part the largest
percentage of material is of
decent quality and
informative. Every once
in a while an exceptional
piece of authorship comes
across our desk that is
actually exciting to write
about. This book is one
of those. There are
literally thousands of young
coaches who are searching, or
maybe better yet the word is
craving detailed information
on how to properly teach the
fundamentals of basketball.
This is no easy task moving
from the simple basics to the
more complex and is often the
case basketball coaching
authors fail to reach a useful
balance between the two.
Here is an exception.
Jerry Krause (Head of research
for the National Association
of Basketball Coaches), Don
Meyer (one of the most
successful coaches in America)
and his son Jerry Meyer have
done a superb job of putting
this artful work together. Click

At
this moment it is the best
book on basketball
fundamentals I have.
Individual skills are very
well described, with pictures,
diagrams and example
practices. As a coach I like
the Critical Cue notes at the
side of the page, these are
very handy to refresh your
teaching points before
practice.
My rating 5/5
From
Library Journal
In
this instructor's guide,
Krause, a 30-year coaching
veteran, offers comprehensive
assistance for developing a
daily and seasonal basketball
practice plan. Skill areas
such as shooting, rebounding,
fundamental movements,
defensive and offensive play,
ball handling, and team
concepts are organized into a
workable format. Tips for
coaches on overcoming specific
problem areas are included, as
well as suggestions for basic
practice drills. However, the
book's real strength is in its
emphasis on teaching
basketball fundamentals
correctly. Basketball Skills
is an outstanding resource,
potentially valuable to novice
as well as experienced
basketball coaches. It is
highly recommended for serious
sports collections.
