5 out of 5 stars  This Book is My Bible, December 18, 2000

I coach a high school team and this book has become my bible. Everything contained within this book is helpful. The sections on Man to man pressure defense is excellent. We have adopted the Shuffle Offense for our half court offense this season. Whenever I have some free time I read and re-read this book and everytime I pick up something new. This is a must have for the serious basketball coach.

5 out of 5 stars   This is it!, March 11, 2004  by Elisa Thorens (Deerfield, IL)

I have been thoroughly impressed with this book. I coach my daughter's junior high team and had spent countless hours on the Internet looking for the perfect site to give me coaching insite. Since this book arrived in the mail, I have not been to any other resource. This book intuitively guides you on how to reach kids of all ages. The emphasis placed on an unselfish brand of basketball will tell you everything you need to know about why this man was so successful coaching college basketball. Each chapter is a valuable lesson on the game with the first half dedicated to offense and the latter portion to defense. Each section has a "how to teach" and "how to drill" every concept covered. He also explains what will be easy to pick up and what will be difficult to master for kids at all levels. His knowledge comes not only from coaching the great Tar Heel teams but from running annual camps geared towards teaching kids 10 and up. I wish he was still holding these camps because I would want my daughter or son to experience his instruction. If you're about to take on the challenge of coaching junior high basketball (boys or girls), do yourself a favor, read and re-read this book; it will give you confidence you're doing things the right way. It is excellently written by the legend himself.
