Basketball Coach

The Basketball Coach's Bible: A Comprehensive and Systematic Guide to Coaching (Goldstein, Sidney. Nitty Gritty Basketball Series.)
$24.95
I have read many 'how to' basketball books, all disappointing. I finally found this one and find it 100% effective. I wish my high school coaches had read this book and taught the techniques when I played. Today I play Senior Basketball and find I still have much to learn. This book covers it all. I read a little at a time and try to make its principles habit. This book is for players and coaches of all ages. Study it well.

Double Sided Basketball Coach's Board
$18.99
Having worn out a few dry erase clipboards in my 20+ years of coaching, this is an idea that needed to be produced years ago! Now a coach can draw up what the opponent is doing for reference later in the game and save it, yet be able to draw things the team needs to see now during a timeout or during half time!

NBA Coaches Playbook: Techniques, Tactics, and Teaching Points
$21.95
This book has some of everything in it: game strategy, program organization, teaching ideas, coaching philosophy, defense, offense, you name it.

Better yet, it is readable! It comes with diagrams that are understandable and not so complicated that nobody can understand what is being shown. Some coaching books I have read have outstanding information, but the manner in which it is described is so complicated that it becomes an exercise in translation to understand the information. Coaching is about making the complicated simple. This book does that.

Beginning coaches can get stuff from this book and so can veterans. It is a valuable resource for any coach.
