On Amazon.com - Basketball Skills and Drills New Version!
by Jerry Krause, Don Meyer and Jerry Meyer. Latest Edition.
This is an excellent book for learning and teaching the game. Each chapter discusses one of the fundamental skills (example: ballhandling), and then provides the drills needed to develop those skills. The fundamentals covered include body control, cutting, screens, ballhandling including passing and catching and dribbling, shooting, outside moves, post moves, defensive skills, rebounding, and team offense and defense. A practice planning guide is included.
If you could own only two basketball books, buy Jerry Krause's Coaching Basketball, and this one (or Garfinkel's Five-Star Basketball Drills - see below).
