"Basketball was the boom sport of the 1980s. The rate of growth and the success of the NBL competition is such that the game is still rapidly developing at all levels in Australia.
That's why this definitive Australian guide to the game for players, teachers, coaches and indeed every devotee of the game, had to be written.
Few people in Australia understand the game more deeply than former star player and now NBL supercoach, Bruce Palmer.
In turning his talents to writing, Palmer calls on all his experience of the American basketball scene and the many years in Australia where he has become one of the dynamos of the boom.
His guide is comprehensive and detailed, yet written in a manner that is easily understood. The methods of developing basic skills are discussed in full and the many technical aspects of the modern game are explained simply.
Practicing efficiently - Body movement- Shooting- How to set and use screens - Ball handling - Defence - Rebounding - Development and Maintenance - Injuries and their prevention - Weight training - The rules - Common basketball terms
It's all there in a guide to be used over and over again by newcomers to this exciting game and budding champions alike.
