Product Description

In "Coaching Basketball Successfully" Morgan Wootten shares his coaching wisdom on topics ranging from player communication and motivation to Xs and Os. The new material on zone offense, quick-hitting plays off the secondary break, man-to-man and trapping defenses, and situational in-bounds plays should make this second edition even more useful than the original work. This latest edition includes guidelines for physical conditioning, recommendations for job interviewing, advice on conducting summer camps, and a master plan for handling game situations. And sprinkled throughout the book are many of Wootten's "thought for the day" phrases the coach has found especially effective in motivating and communicating important lessons to athletes.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews
By Louis
Format:Paperback
Coach Wootten at his best. He shows you how to prepare your team, treat your players and keep the balance between life, family and basketball. It covers everything a coach who cares about basketball needs to know. Some of the tips are related with US high school basketball, but you will always find a way to convert it to your situation.
Buy it and read it once a year, to correct your mistakes and find solutions to problems.

Brilliant 12 Dec 2005
Format:Paperback
In this book, Morgan Wootten shares the knowledge that has made him the most successful high school basketball coach of all time. The tips in the book, however, do not just apply to high school- many are useful across the board. In addition, it is written in a clear, concise way, it is not confusing at all (unlike some other basketball books)
If you are serious about becoming a better coach, this is a must-buy!

An outstanding book from one of the most successful basketball coaches of all time. The book talks about high school basketball but so much of it can be used in any form of basketball!
