Customer Reviews

Great information from lots of great coaches!

Jerry Krause and Ralph Pim have done basketball coaches a great service by collecting and editing all of the articles assembled into this single edition. The list of authors reads like a who's who of basketball coaches. The articles are arranged by topic and cover just about every area of coaching basketball imaginable. The diagrams used to depict the concepts are well done and easy, for me at least, to understand. The only complaint I have with the book is that the coaches whose articles are included are never really able to show how that one aspect of their system completely fits into the bigger picture or to go into a really in depth, detailed explanation of the topic. Given the nature of the book, I am not sure how to get around this limitation. Still, a valuable tool for any basketball coach and worth buying. Kevin Sivils - author of Game Strategy and Tactics for Basketball

Another masterpiece by Jerry Krause.

I love teaching and coaching basketball. I also love reading and learning more about the game. Most of my reviews are 5 star and thats because I do my homework when purchaseing a new book. This book would be a 5 star plus if possible.A good book for reading but always a great source of reference. Contains every aspect of basketball.

Coaching Basketball by Jerry Krause

Jerry Krause has put together a great coaching book with articles contributed by the greatest coaches in the game, covering all aspects of the game. A "must have" for any coach or player seeking a higher level of knowledge of the game.

This is the best coaches book

This book covers it all. From developing your coaching philosophy to Junk Defenses. I have used it to teach 15 year olds a full court press to 9 year olds the basics of footwork. I have over 15 books on basketball, yet this one never seems to make it back onto the shelf.This and the 5-star basketball drill book are the only two books you will ever need as a coach!

the best book on basketball ever written

I have read many books on basketball, but this is simply the best. It takes the coaches and their specialties so you know you are getting the best advice ever. An example is John Wooden and the high-low offense and Jerry Tarkanian talking about pressing defenses. You will definately get your money's worth in information.
