Summary: Playing the Post : Basketball Skills and Drills
Comment: I think first I ought to say something about myself. I live in England, so although I'm 24 and have been playing basketball for twelve years, I don't have the coaching/fundamentals a person my age in many other countries would have.
I found the book to be very informative, though it is probably aimed at people younger than myself and/or coaches of younger people.
As a player I found that the most useful sections were those devoted to individual offense and defense. Specifically when introducing a new move, the description is accompanied by clear diagrams describing where your feet should be and where they should be moving to.
I also enjoy coaching, and it is in this respect that I found the book most useful. Every section is accompanied by suggestions of drills which can be used to focus on particular weaknesses. From a coaches point of view, the section on strong and weak side rebounding, and the percentages with which shots taken from a certain area will fall into was of most use to me. This information I haven't found anywhere else.
The book also contains a very basic section on exercise and weight training. The depth in which it discusses this area supports my view that the book is aimed at 11-16 year olds (or even younger!). I would suggest that people older than this should look elsewhere for a more detailed training program
This is not a flaw and though I believe that I was rather older than the intended reader, I found the book to be very useful.
