Building a Man-To-Man Defense (The Art & Science of Coaching Series)
Building a Man-To-Man Defense (The Art & Science of Coaching Series)
by Bob Huggins

A few months a go this book showed up in the basketball book top ten, it is an excellent book on building a man-to-man defense. After explaining the philosophy behind this particular defense, in short the get the ball to the sideline and then keep it there, the defense is broken down in more than 100 separate drills.

If you want to teach a man-to-man defense where the ball is forced to the sideline it is almost a must, for other types of defense it will show how to build up a defense but do adjust the drills to what you want to achieve. Also learned a new English word ‘swiveling’
