5.0 out of 5 stars Great Drills & Sound Advise, Nov 9 2007

This review is from: Coaching Basketball For Dummies (Paperback)
I have been coaching younger children for 4 years, and I wanted to get some new drills that I could use during practices. This book has a really good outline of offense, defense, rebounding and practice drills. There are also some very good points at the begining of the book on how to deal with parents and other coaches, etc... Overall this book is very good to design a practice plan for coaches who are either new to coaching basketball, or are looking for additional or different drills to run.

I would go with coaching basketball successfully by morgan wooten or coaching basketball by jerry krause. If you just need offense go with john wooden ucla offense but DO NOT waste your money on this book.
