A Conceptual Approach to Basketball shows you how to instill in your athletes the "court sense" they need to play winning basketball! Coach Vic Pruden's step-by-step approach is a welcome alternative to the usual "blueprint" methods of patterned offenses, defenses, and set plays. You'll learn how to develop a conceptual system of play that includes effective use of court space, offensive and defensive formations, and playing cues. Pruden also shows you how to establish principles of play to govern the movements and actions of your players, yet challenge them to be spontaneous. The guidelines found in A Conceptual Approach to Basketball will enable you to refine your own role in directing play and prepare your athletes to react intelligently to any game situation!
