5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent all around manual on the sport of basketball and how to teach it., November 9, 2009
This review is from: The Basketball Book (Paperback)
This book is a good one for coaches who are looking for an all around catch-all book on the sport. It includes topics that range from a history of the sport to a wide range of fundamentals.

Also included are sections on sportsmanship and attitude, a basketball dictionary and the rules of the game.

Instead of photographs, well done drawings are used to depict how many of the skills described in the book are to be executed.

I found lots of useful information in this book, both for the veteran coach and the novice.
