About the author

John Robert Wooden is a retired American basketball coach. He is a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame as both a player (class of 1961) and as a coach (class of 1973). He was the first person ever enshrined in both categories; only Lenny Wilkens and Bill Sharman have since been so honored. His 10 NCAA National Championships in a 12 year period while at UCLA are unmatched by any other college basketball coach.

Reviews

[Greg Marquez · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wish coaches would read the section on fundamentals. The key to good coaching is to know enough about the game to understand what the fundamental principals are and then break those principals down into small enough steps that you can teach them to your players. Unfortunately most basketball coaches are too lazy to do that and so they end up becoming little more than talent scouts. Sad.

The Wizard's offense was almost indefensible.
