Book Reviews of Coaching Girls' Basketball Successfully
Book Review: A decent overall guide
Summary: 3 Stars
After reading this book, it's very obvious that the author is a very good coach. She has achieved tremendous success through (it seems) hard work and sound basketball principles. Her book is well written and easy to understand. I have purchased many basketball coaching books over the last 3 years, and this is as good or better than many I've read.
I'm now a head coach for a high school varsity girls' basketball team, and I bought this particular book (among others) because it was specific to girls' basketball. However, this book offered nothing to set it apart from any other high school (boys') coaching book. I had just read Morgan Wootten's "Coaching Basketball Successfully" and it felt like I was re-reading a good portion of this book. I am definitely disappointed that I didn't read anything new to me or very specific to girls' basketball. The author (I'm sure) has a greater wealth of knowledge and experiences than I do, I just wish this book would have tapped into that a little more. This is a good complete basketball book, but it isn't very enlightening and does nothing to differentiate itself from the hundreds of other high school coaching books out there.
