Boys and girls youth AAU basketball throughout the United States is extremely competitive. To this end, "101 Offensive Basketball Drills," by George Karl is an ideal book for AAU basketball coaches who are looking to maximize team skills. This book is certain to assist new and veteran coaches alike with conditioning, ball-handling, screening, passing, shooting, rebounding and fast-break drills.
Moreover, the offensive drills are presented in easy to understand diagrams with concise implementation instructions. On the downside, this is a succinct drill book with very little coaching narrative. Any coach looking for comprehensive strategy or fundamental basketball insights should go elsewhere...this book is primarily a blackboard practice resource. Nevertheless, I found "101 Offensive Basketball Drills," an excellent tool to liven up practices and introduce new ways to improve the education of players. Recommended.
