5.0 out of 5 stars A simple philosophy for success, 15 April 1999
By A Customer
Coach Carrill boils the game of basketball down to a very simple philosophy that being good at the fundamentals of the game make you a good player, regardless of what position you play. The ability to pass, shoot, dribble, rebound, and play defense are becoming a lost art in the "complete" player. Coach Carrill accurately points to the fact that the "specialists" of today are usually lacking in one or more of these skills. This book is a MUST read for high school and youth coaches. It should also be read by anyone who loves basketball.

5.0 out of 5 stars Young coaches need this, 23 Sep 1998
By A Customer
The role models for young coaches today are all salesmen. Coach Carril is a teacher first and foremost. Teaching is something that is being done less and less in basketball and the quality of play is reflecting this. Coach Carril can get you thinking straight again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great information for any coach at any level!, 7 Dec 1997
By A Customer
This book had a lot of common sense information about the game of basketball. To build a program you have to work on developing a complete player. Coach Carril is correct in stating that fundamentals are what's important and adapting every drill to what will happen in a game. I really enjoyed this book because of the no nonsense approach he has to the game and because he was always able to get the most out of his players. Great book!!
