This review is from: Basketball Offenses & Plays (Paperback)

What was really nice about this book is the variety of offenses it covered. This book covered every offensive situation that can happen. I also like the fact that the sets and plays have names. I was able to implement some of thes plays into our offense.
This book is a big help to coaches who are looking to get good shots for their scorers or getting everyone involved. It is also filled with info for different styles of teams. I found this book to be helpful throughout the high school season. This book will sharpen your ideas and visions of what coaching basketball includes. I would suggest this book to anyone who wants to learn about offensive basketball. Great reading, and a great learning tool.
