Champaign, IL -- Mike Krzyzewski and Rick Pitino attest to the benefits college basketball coaches glean from the pro level. Now college and high school coaches can get advice from top NBA coaches in the NBA Coaches Association's upcoming NBA Coaches Playbook (Human Kinetics, September 2008). The first of its kind, the playbook offers a collection of proven methods and strategies from the NBA's elite coaches on maximizing player and team performance.
"Winning basketball was and still is a matter of fundamentals and details, but you also need a tough attitude in order to reach the top," says Basketball Hall of Fame coach Phil Jackson.
In NBA Coaches Playbook, 28 successful coaches offer more than 450 Xs-and-Os diagrams and expertise, including tips from Phil Jackson on the fast break, Tex Winter on the triangle offense, and Pete Carril and Eddie Jordan on the Princeton offense. Each chapter offers technical teaching points, practice drills, tactical nuances, or game-management tools that provide a coaching edge. The book's "special plays" section should be especially popular among coaches seeking the out-of-bounds and last-second plays that work when the game is on the line.
