Customer Review: Great Basketball Drill book, Ode to cover of Detlef Schrmepf, one of top 75 NBA players of alltime!
[Four of Four stars] George Karl and Terry
Stotts do very good work here. The diagrams
are easy to follow and the funky Tueton on
the cover is Detlef Schrempf, former 16-yr.
NBA Forward/Guard. Detlef in german is 'Der-
rick' and 'Schrempf' is short [and he was 6'
10"!]
Customer Review: Excellent drills for competitive AAU basketball teams
Boys and girls youth AAU basketball throughout the United States is extremely competitive. To this end, "101 Offensive Basketball Drills," by George Karl is an ideal book for AAU basketball coaches who are looking to maximize team skills. This book is certain to assist new and veteran coaches alike with conditioning, ball-handling, screening, passing, shooting, rebounding and fast-break drills. Moreover, the offensive drills are presented in easy to understand diagrams with concise implementation instructions. On the downside, this is a succinct drill book with very little coaching narrative. Any coach looking for comprehensive strategy or fundamental basketball insights should go elsewhere...this book is primarily a blackboard practice resource. Nevertheless, I found "101 Offensive Basketball Drills," an excellent tool to liven up practices and introduce new ways to improve the education of players. Recommended. Bert Ruiz
