Have you ever wanted to be at a San Antonio Spurs practice session, learn the secret behind the Boston Celtics fast break, or be in the Philadelphia 76ers locker room at half-time? Then this book is for you. Sixteen essays written by an impressive group of NBA coaches are divided into five sections: fundamentals and principles, offense, defense, the running game, and coaching tips. Each section is filled with advanced techniques, plays, drills, and coaching philosophies. Diagrams are plentiful. Jargon is profuse, and the reader is expected to have a basketball background. Coaches with championship-caliber players and basketball aficionados looking for an insider's view of the NBA will want to read this. Dennis J.
