4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference and great starter to build your offense, December 31, 2009

This review is from: Basketball's Princeton-Style Offense: A Simplified Approach for High School Coaches (Paperback)

As the review title says, this is a fine reference point to building a Princeton style offense for your basketball team. The book is literally nearly all diagrams of Derek Sheridans offense with every series gone over in great detail. I would recommend supplemental material to truly understand the offense and get more specific drills to compliment it (the book contains some, though not many) I like the DVD "Princeton Offense:Backdoor to Success"

Otherwise it is an excellent buy and should be part of any coaches library.
