, . . full of detailed and excellent coaching exercises. Rose lays out a huge range of drills and activities that develop not only the more familiar parts of the game like shooting, passing, defending, and rebounding but also subtle things like weak side defense and executing screens. He also has good tips on how to develop a team's agility, speed, strength, and timing . . . a wealth of valuable information. Recommended for all collections.
