Title: Great manual on defense - maybe a litte too great!
Review: I really disagree with the two negative reviews given by A Customer, particularly his stance on Coach Harris not winning a championship with the Lakers. Remember, a coach is only as good as the players he has to work with. NBA teams are fashioned by the GM's, not the coaches. If you have great offensive players who can't, or won't, play defense, you have your work cut out for you as a coach.Having said that, the information in this book is in depth, advanced, and yes, perhaps a bit much for the average fan or basketball coach.But for those who really want to understand the complexities of a solid NBA defensive system and the different ways to play man-to-man defense, this is a great book. It will certainly challenge your basketball IQ and make you think about defense in different ways!Kevin Sivils - author of Game Strategy and Tactics for BasketballGame Strategies and Tactics for Basketball: Bench Coaching for Success
