Excellent for beginning coaches., 18 Jun 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Coaching Beginning Basketball (Paperback)
Excellent for beginning coaches. My wife used it as her "bible" for two years for her 5-6 grade girls team. The second year her team was undefeated in their division and won two tournaments.

Dated but some good insights for the inexperienced coach., 8 Jan 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Coaching Beginning Basketball (Paperback)
The pictures are as old as can be (canvas hightops, short shorts, and not a glass backboard in sight) and the diagrams are hand drawn and somewhat basic. Can be a good starting book for a coach who has not played the game.
