Book Description
Developing a Successful Basketball Program looks past the X's and O's to help coaches of 6th to 12th grade players develop the organizational, managerial, communication and player-development skills necessary for developing not only a well-run and successful basketball program, but also enthusiastic and successful athletes.

This all-inclusive resource covers every area of basketball coaching and program development, in two distinct sections. Section one covers the foundations of successful coaching, including: Traits of a successful coach, communication, player evaluation and development, teaching new concepts, utilizing auxiliaries, practice, drills, game demeanor and management, nurturing college potential and more. Section two addresses the fundamentals of the game itself, including the team and the roles of the players, exercise and weight programs, defense, screens, passing, catching, rebounding, dribbling, offense, shooting, free throws, fouls and much more.

A beefy 362 pages of easy-to-understand information for new coaches and established coaches looking to excel to the next level of the game.


Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars The book every new basketball coach should read first   February 4, 2003
I highly recommend this book. It better prepares the new coach for his new profession. It is the first book a new coach should read once he or she has received their first assignment. It discusses a large variety of topics that are important in the success of a coach and his enjoyment of his profession. Many of the things covered in this book are not discussed in the innumerable skills and drills or offense and defense books that are available on the market. For example, there are chapters on player development including developing the confidence of players, communication, coaching at the junior high level, teaching new concepts, dealing with parents, as well as a section on basic fundamentals and how to teach them more effectively. It's a can't miss book for the new coach or even the veteran coach. Loved it!
