Short but helpful guide,
By Lily (Boulder, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Basketball Made Simple: A Spectator's Guide (Paperback)
I bought this book as a gift but learned alot from it myself. I found it quite helpful.Some things in the book were hard to find, such as the explanation of different zone defenses for NCAA. Once found, I did learn something! The explanations were short and to-the-point. There were some pictures and diagrams, but mostly the book is text. I was hoping for more pictures. The book covers both NBA and NCAA basketball. Overall, not a bad place to get started with basketball!
