Book excerpt: Over the span of an 11-year professional playing career, Joe Crispin played for approximately 28 different coaches in the NBA, ABA, CBA, Greece, Poland, Italy, Spain, Turkey, and Ukraine. He played fast, slow and everything in between for coaches all over the world. His diverse experience and unique perspective led him to clarify twelve principles that every player wants in basketball offense. Currently the head coach at Rowan University, this was written before he ever coached a game at any level of play. He wrote as an 11-year professional to better inform his future coaching self. The only words from the coach come as practical lessons in applying these principles to his teams today. The old adage is that defense wins championships, but as Crispin contends, that is only true when you can score (or in the NBA, when you have 2 or 3 of the best offensive players in the world). Offense matters immensely to every basketball player in the world (and even more to the fans). It affects how well you play defense and even how you choose to play defense. Offense wins in more ways than you think. No matter what level you coach, Crispin's principles will challenge you to think through your philosophy and adjust your teaching in order to prepare a happier and more effective basketball offense. You may even end up believing that offense wins.

Book excerpt: In Scorecasting, University of Chicago behavioral economist Tobias Moskowitz teams up with veteran Sports Illustrated writer L. Jon Wertheim to overturn some of the most cherished truisms of sports, and reveal the hidden forces that shape how basketball, baseball, football, and hockey games are played, won and lost. Drawing from Moskowitz's original research, as well as studies from fellow economists such as bestselling author Richard Thaler, the authors look at: the influence home-field advantage has on the outcomes of games in all sports and why it exists; the surprising truth about the universally accepted axiom that defense wins championships; the subtle biases that umpires exhibit in calling balls and strikes in key situations; the unintended consequences of referees' tendencies in every sport to "swallow the whistle," and more. Among the insights that Scorecasting reveals: • Why Tiger Woods is prone to the same mistake in high-pressure putting situations that you and I are • Why professional teams routinely overvalue draft picks • The myth of momentum or the "hot hand" in sports, and why so many fans, coaches, and broadcasters fervently subscribe to it • Why NFL coaches rarely go for a first down on fourth-down situations--even when their reluctance to do so reduces their chances of winning. In an engaging narrative that takes us from the putting greens of Augusta to the grid iron of a small parochial high school in Arkansas, Scorecasting will forever change how you view the game, whatever your favorite sport might be.

Book excerpt: The modern double wing offense is the pinnacle of power and misdirection football. This book covers how to implement it, coach it, and utilize it with a variety of youth football teams. The system as been field tested for over ten years by not only the author but from coaches around the country who sing its praise. The system is simple, efficient, and effective while teaching the core fundamentals of football. The author has taken Don Markham's, inventor of the modern double wing, core principles and made them effective for any age group in youth football. See what some well known double wing coaches are saying about this book: Every youth coach needs to read this book, whether you run Double Wing or not this is a must read in understanding the most dynamic offense in Youth Football. With the depth and teaching of the system it will become obvious why so many people are winning with the Jack Gregory DW. There is no doubt in my mind that Jack Gregory's Double Wing is the best design for Youth Football. Jason Mensing; Head Football Coach, Tecumseh High School, MI Jack Gregory has done an unbelievable job once again spreading his knowledge and experience on the double wing. In running this offense for 10 years and speaking across the country, there is few people I have met who have a grasp on the offense like Jack. It is only equaled by his clear and concise way of articulating and teaching the offense to players and coaches of all levels. This book is a must read for any coach interested in or running the double wing.Tim Murphy Head Football Coach, Clovis East High School Clovis, CA Youth Double Wing by Jack Gregory is a must read for any new or experienced football coach, from youth all the way up to high school. It's detailed, creative and easy to understand. I based my offense on Jack's DW system three years ago and it helped catapult me to the 2007 Pop Warner National Championships. Tony Akers 2007 National Championship Finalist Santa Margarita Pop Warner What an awesome opportunity for youth football coaches seeking to learn the core aspects of one of the foremost power offenses in the game. To be able to sit at the feet of one of youth football's most respected coach advisors and be systematically lead through the principles, philosophy and concepts that makes this offense the force that it is known to be is truly a privilege. Following Jack's teachings and principles has enabled my DW teams to make it to the National Pop Warner Super bowl games two of the last three years, and even win the National Championship (2006). As such, I am very pleased to recommend this book as it's just like the offense that it teaches: Well structured, yet Systematic and Powerful! Christopher AustinLos Alamitos Pop Warner 2006 Pop Warner National ChampionI've looked at a lot of youth football coaching materials over the years. You will not find a more complete, out of the box system anywhere. Coach Gregory's system has proven successful for teams with players as young as 5 years through the High School level. There is one thing that teams who run Gregory's system have in common - they WIN football games!!! I have run Jack's system since 2003 and have enjoyed tremendous success. This isn't just a book of X's & O's. Coach Gregory goes into great detail in explaining not just what to do, but there is great focus on the hows, whens, and whys. I promise that this book will not just make your team better, it will make you a better coach as well. In my opinion, there's not a better system out there. If there were, I'd be using it!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journey "inside the numbers" for an exceptional set of statistical tools and rules that can help explain the winning, or losing, ways of a basketball team. Basketball on Paper doesn't diagram plays or explain how players get in shape, but instead demonstrates how to interpret player and team performance. Dean Oliver highlights general strategies for teams when they're winning or losing and what aspects should be the focus in either situation. He describes and quantifies the jobs of team leaders and role players, then discusses the interactions between players and how to achieve the best fit. Oliver conceptualizes the meaning of teamwork and how to quantify the value of different types of players working together. He examines historically successful NBA teams and identifies what made them so successful: individual talent, a system of putting players together, or good coaching. Oliver then uses these statistical tools and case studies to evaluate the best players in history, such as Magic Johnson, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, and Charles Barkley and how they contributed to their teams' success. He does the same for some of the NBA's "oddball" players-Manute Bol, Muggsy Bogues, and Dennis Rodman and for the WNBA's top players. Basketball on Paper is unique in its incorporation of business and analytical concepts within the context of basketball to measure the value of players in a cooperative setting. Whether you're looking for strategies or new ideas to throw out while watching the ballgame at a sports bar, Dean Oliver'sBasketball on Paper will give you amazing new insights into teamwork, coaching, and success.
