4.0 out of 5 stars
Very good book over his press,
By Roger A Woods (Willard, MO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Coaching the Matchup Press: Aggressive Defensive Principles for Winning Basketball (Paperback)
I enjoyed this book, there was alot of very helpful ideas in the book. He goes into great detail about his 2-1-2 press and how there are only three types of press breakers and how to combat each one of these out of his press. He also talks about his run and jump part of the press, but he does not go into as much detail as the 2-1-2. This book would have gotten a 5 rating if it would have had more information on the run and jump.
