Book Description

February 17, 2006

John Wooden's legacy as the best basketball coach of all time results not only from his unparalleled championship-winning record but also from his brilliance as a tactician and teacher. In John Wooden's UCLA Offense, Coach Wooden reconfirms his instructional genius in an unprecedented inside look at the offensive system that made his teams impossible to defend, including many never-before-published play options and insights.

This richly detailed book and DVD presentation features the famous high-post and high-low attacks, many special play options, sideline and under-the-basket in-bound plays, and press-breaking tactics. This package gives you much more than just the standard Xs and Os. You'll gain insights on each facet of offensive play, the fundamentals for success as an individual and team on the offensive end, and the strategic nuances and teaching points that result in consistent, precise execution.

Featuring principles used in today's popular motion and triangle offenses, John Wooden's UCLA Offense is still as potent and unstoppable today as it was during the Bruins' dynasty years. Whether you wish to add only certain options and plays, or want to incorporate the entire package into your offensive arsenal, every facet and step in the process is provided. Score big with this special chance to learn the game from a legend, and see your team's offensive productivity rise to new heights.

Review

"

""As the great teacher he is, Coach Wooden provides not only the “what” but also the “how” and the “why” of UCLA's legendary offensive attack. This book and DVD clearly detail the high post and high-low offenses as well as special plays and concepts that produced 10 NCAA Division I national championship teams.""
Pat Summitt
University of Tennessee head coach, first women's coach to reach 800 victories

""John Wooden's UCLA Offense is a must for coaches seeking to broaden and deepen their knowledge of the game. This book and DVD provide a special opportunity to learn from two of the game's best teachers.""
Pete Newell
Coach of Olympic, NCAA, and NIT championship teams

""John Wooden's UCLA Offense is truly much more than a textbook and DVD. Like Einstein and Newton, Coach Wooden was able to take a sophisticated theory and present it in its simplest, most useful form. In that way, his revelations about the components, continuity, flexibility, and creativity of the offense provide coaches with a tool akin to what the wheel and light bulb offered people in previous eras. Coach Wooden and Swen Nater ensure that you'll have everything you'll need to enlighten your offensive attack and get it rolling better than ever!""
Bill Walton
Basketball Hall of Fame

""John Wooden's UCLA Offense reminds me of just how meticulous the greatest basketball coach of all time was in teaching the game and devising winning tactics. Even more valuable than the detailed Xs and Os are the many insights offered by the coach throughout the book and DVD. Learn from the best to teach and coach your best.""

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book that I own, May 10, 2006
By 
This review is from: John Wooden's UCLA Offense: Special Book/DVD Package (Paperback)
This is a fantastic book that I definitely recommend to every single coach. The principles that are discussed along with the DVD presentation helped open up my eyes to a whole new world of basketball that I only dreamed of. I own over a hundred basketball books, mostly X's and O's but this book is by far the best book that I have in my collection.

WHEN THE BEST COLLEGE COACH OF ALL TIME TELLS YOU HIS OFFENSE AND THEN SHOWS YOU IN DETAIL HOW TO USE IT - IT'S PRICELESS. WATCH THE DVD FIRST AND THEN READ THE BOOK.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not only for Basketball Coaches, February 27, 2008
This review is from: John Wooden's UCLA Offense: Special Book/DVD Package (Paperback)
At the intro chapters, book delivers history of basketball offense. Fantastic experience for every reader. Then, applying historical modification of rules - modification of offensive play tactics are modified too.

Very nice, concise and understandable logic, excellent video material makes this edition very valuable.
