I needed to review some basics in order to attend a game and not feel stupid. This book carried me through. Some information is outdated but it worked.
Since I love my Tiger basketball, I wanted to better understand the elements of the game. So I checked out this very earnest, but informative, guide. It covers basic player roles, strategies, and common fouls, and includes a general history of the game, NCAA and NBA. I also liked the profiles of famous players at the end.
