Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the city courts of Harlem to the church halls of Indiana, pickup basketball culture is intensely local and reflects the histories and identities of its players. In Give and Go, Thomas Mc Laughlin examines how players put into play a loose set of values and ethical styles that influence how they think, feel, move, and relate to others within the community. A lifelong pickup ball player—one of modest skills but serious intent—Mc Laughlin has internalized and embodied the culture of the game, and he writes as a participant in the basketball community, putting into words what his body already knows. This book reflects the author's personal experience and observation of the game, through the lens of contemporary cultural theory, and also examines the representation of basketball culture in popular media, including the films Hoop Dreams, Hoosiers, and White Men Can't Jump. As only an insider can, Mc Laughlin takes readers onto the court and into the minds of players as they negotiate the culture of the game.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Game Strategy and Tactics for Basketball: Preparing to Win the Sideline Battles is both a how-to book and a guide for how to plan strategy and tactics for basketball for an entire season or an individual game. Coaches often focus on X's and O's and overlook how and when a particular offense or defense should be applied and used during a game. Game Strategy and Tactics for Basketball: Preparing to Win the Sideline Battles serves as a planning guide and a master checklist for all the possible situations that a coach will face during a season. The book includes both traditional and some "out-of-the-box" strategies to the common situations that coaches face and provides both the pros and the cons of the approaches described. It is not the author's intention to tell each coach exactly what to do, but to serve as a guide in the decision making process. About the author: A 24 year veteran of the coaching profession, with twenty-two of those years spent as a varsity head coach, Coach Kevin Sivils amassed 464 wins and his teams earned berths in the state playoffs 19 out of 22 seasons with his teams advancing to the state semi-finals three times. An eight time Coach of the Year Award winner, Coach Sivils has traveled as far as the Central African Republic to conduct coaching clinics. Coach Sivils first coaching stint was as an assistant coach for his college alma mater, Greenville College, located in Greenville, Illinois. His teams were always known for their discipline, intense effort, execution of fundamentals, and team play. Coach Sivils is also the owner of KCS Basketball Enterprises, LLC, an enterprise focused on providing coaches with information to improve their knowledge of the game of basketball and their ability to coach. "If you have been looking for a rigorously thorough handbook on basketball tactics and strategy, you have found it " Coach Doug Porter - Head Women's Coach, Olivet Nazarene University National Scoring leaders: 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference Champions: 2000, 2005, 2007 "His thought provoking approach makes for an easy read and will definitely stimulate thought and, most likely, change the way you go about coaching " Rusty Rogers - Two time NAIA Division II Women's National Championship Coach and Two time NAIA National Coach of the Year "Coach Sivils clearly brings his experience in the game of basketball to his writing. He is a great teacher who acquired great gifts over the years and it's great he wants to share those gifts with other coaches." Bill Reidy - Long time successful high school and AAU coach

This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the half court offence 5v5 is, by far, the most developed during the match, it is crucial that the players acquire a high strategical and tactical knowledge which propitiates an intelligent decision making process in a hostile environment which changes constantly. Developing a smart game depends, in the first place, on the intelligence of the player (Duprat, 2014) but, when does the player show intelligent behaviour? He shows it when he knows what to do, how to do it, when to act and with whom to act, according to the changing conditions of the game (Ruíz, Gutiérrez, Graupera, Linaza and Navarro, 2001). But five intelligent players are not enough to develop and intelligent game. The intelligent game consists of playing for the benefit of the team. Each player agrees to act for a team objective. He must understand that the individual action is part of a global process that turns into a team effectiveness (López Ros, 2011). Developing an intelligent game requires all the players must learn to cooperate and coordinate their behaviour since a team strategy can only work if each player acts reliably and contributes to the common goal (Gréhaigne, 2014). It is needed that the members of the team act concertedly to achieve the team objectives. The coordination appears when the players synchronise and adjust their behaviour among them to work as a coherent team. This requires the adaptation of each player to the partners and the opponent's actions (Passos and Chow, 2016). Focusing on the half court offence, achieving an autonomous, intelligent and coordinated behavior of the five players at the same time is the most complicated task that we face the teachers of this sport. In order to guarantee this necessary coordination, coaches design set plays in which it is indicated what each player has to do. However, this way of proceeding does not allow players to act autonomously, or to develop an intelligence about the game. So how can we achieve an autonomous, intelligent and coordinated behavior of the five players at the same time? Contributing to the answers to this question is the aim of this book.
