 John Wooden's UCLA Offense: Special Book/DVD Package $21.95 The first book I ever bought as a coach was Wooden's Practical Modern Basketball. I still have a copy. This book sits next to it on the shelf. In Practical Modern Basketball, Wooden covered just about everything you need to know as a basketball coach. In this book the focus is a detailed examination of the UCLA offense. While the game has changed as have the rules, the most significant change being the introduction of the three point shot, this offense is still one of the best there is as it not only creates opportunities for scoring for each position, but has excellent rebound position built in. I used to think that defensive rebounding was the key to winning games. Now I think turnovers forced and OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS are the key to winning games (along with making your lay-ups and free throws)! This makes built in offensive rebounding position even more important to me as a coach now. Anything Wooden does will be done with excellence. This book is no exception.
