Pat Summit, Head Women's Basketball Coach of six-time NCAA Champion, University of Tennessee Great basketball players like Tim Duncan, Chamique Holdsclaw, and Grant Hill draw oohs and aahs with their spectacular moves.

The 59 drills serve to reinforce the skill instruction and make every practice session more fun and effective. Coaching tips sprinkled throughout the book emphasize key points and explain how to correct common errors. Since individual skills are effective in games 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 situation 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 to each area or level of the court. To be an all-star, a player must first master the basics.

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
