I am a high school basketball coach and have read many books geared to coaches and players. This is one of the very best I have ever read. I have given multiple copies out to good players of mine who wanted to play at the college level. The format of this book is great in that it is set up as many mini chapters with most only 2 pages in length. So, it is a book you can pick up and put down frequently and pick up a good tip with each reading session. I routinely re-read this book before each new season begins to remind me of some of DiVenzio's tips. This book prompted me to buy all the other basketball books Dick DiVenzio has written. They are all very good but this one is probably the most helpful for a coach or player.
