"Basketball Basics has a great deal to offer as a guide to teaching beginning basketball skills." — Aubrey Bonham, Former Whittier College head basketball coach and member of the Basketball Hall of Fame Basketball Basics is the definitive instructional manual. Loaded with photos and diagrams, it covers all the fundamental skills and strategies of coaching youth basketball while stressing the importance of making the game a positive learning experience for players. This complete, easy-to-follow handbook provides coaches as well as parents with information and teaching tips on such aspects as:
  • Organizing tryouts and practices
  • Teaching basic footwork and shooting techniques
  • Choosing the most effective offensive and defensive formations
  • Handling starters and substitutes
  • Making the most of limited practice time
  • Analyzing the game in progress and changing strategies
  • Coaching players with different skill levels
  • Building team spirit and self-confidence
The highly visual format of Basketball Basics, including illustrated practice drills that reinforce each step of the skill-building process, makes the learning and the coaching processes especially easy--and fun. With this book any coach--whether a parent volunteer or a veteran--will be armed with the essential techniques and strategies for a winning season. Howard Marcus, a high school basketball coach, has coached in numerous recreational leagues in northern California.
