Beginners Basketball
This is a beginners book,so if you know all the basic rules and techniques then don't bother buying it,but if your just starting to bounce a ball around(like I did when I first got this book)and your interested in how to play the game then I would recommend you buy it.It tells you everything you need to know to play basketball,from what you need(incl. measurements on court,what to wear) to the techniques to use,(jump shots,dribbles,passes).I felt it was a bit too detailed sometimes though(giving exact measurements for the ball!),but a must buy for starters as it is cheap,thorough and easy to understand.

Great Book
I have just started basketball coaching and this is a great little book to give youa look at all the basic steps, recommended
