Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
In this instructor's guide, Krause, a 30-year coaching veteran, offers comprehensive assistance for developing a daily and seasonal basketball practice plan. Skill areas such as shooting, rebounding, fundamental movements, defensive and offensive play, ball handling, and team concepts are organized into a workable format. Tips for coaches on overcoming specific problem areas are included, as well as suggestions for basic practice drills. However, the book's real strength is in its emphasis on teaching basketball fundamentals correctly. Basketball Skills is an outstanding resource, potentially valuable to novice as well as experienced basketball coaches. It is highly recommended for serious sports collections.

Book Description
Basketball Skills & Drills provides a perfect blueprint for building the foundation every well-rounded player needs. Each key skill is taught and illustrated, including • basic positioning, • moving without the ball, • ballhandling, • shooting, • passing, • perimeter moves, • post moves, • defense, • rebounding, and • setting and using screens.

The 59 drills serve to reinforce the skill instruction and make every practice session more fun and effective. Coaching tips sprinkled throughout the book emphasize key points and explain how to correct common errors.

Since individual skills are effective in games only when used within the team concept, the book also covers key team principles for both ends of the court. Tactics for offense, including special situations such as out-of-bounds plays, will improve spacing, ball and player movement, shot selection, and scoring. Defensive tactics emphasize positioning, pressure, and various systems to apply in each area or level of the court.

To be an all-star, a player must first master the basics. Basketball Skills & Drills is your guide to developing all the fundamentals of the game.
