5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book over motion offense,
By Roger A Woods (Willard, MO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Motion Offense: The Principles of the Five-Man Open Post (Art & Science of Coaching) (Art & Science of Coaching Series) (Paperback)
This book is the best motion book that I have read. It gives you so much informaion that you have to read the book again to go through it all. The first time I read this book I was overwhelmed, but after further readings I figured out you cannot do all the options, you just need to pick out the ones that best suit your personel. Excellent book!

Very Thorough Book,
By Charles Dickens "hoops junkie" (Quebec City, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Motion Offense: The Principles of the Five-Man Open Post (Art & Science of Coaching) (Art & Science of Coaching Series) (Paperback)
This is a great book,very well written and easy to understand. It moves from the simple to more complicated without one being overwhelmed.You can "get off" at any time you want according to your personel and the level or age group you are coaching.If you've got no big guys, this offense can stir up enough movement to keep a bigger team honest. There's a lot of options and information there, it's a matter of taking what you want.
