4.0 out of 5 stars Loaded with plays, June 28, 2000

A great book! Loaded with easy plays to run for all ages. Detailed plays for all scenario's as well (different zones, man to man, etc.) Provides diagrams of plays as well as a glossary of terms and symbols used in the book. Great for the beginner coach.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great way to build FUN-damental hoops knowledge base, August 20, 2004

By	Kevin Woodward (Soquel, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Whether you are a coach (at any level) or a casual fan, this book has something for you. Page after page of plays guarantee you'll find something that works for you.

From the basics to the complex, from inbounds plays to 5-man motion, this is a great way to build your knowledge base of how basketball is and should be played.

Pretty soon you'll even start recognizing the same plays run by your favorite team the next time you watch a game on TV. Hey, how can you go wrong for $15?

Play hard, have fun.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good to have on bench in a game, March 28, 2009

By	Texas Rocket (San Antonio, TX USA) - See all my reviews

Organized by situation (baseline out of bounds, sideline out of bounds, last second plays, etc.) its a great reference tool to quickly draw up a play when needed. You can also use it to complement your playbook. Note that many of these plays are available on the internet at various basketball sites, but this makes it nice and compact.
