About Coaching Basketball Successfully...
Post more victories this season and every season with
advice from high school basketball’s ultimate winner!
In Coaching Basketball Successfully Morgan Wootten shares his full
arsenal of coaching wisdom on topics ranging from player communication and
motivation to Xs and Os. The new material on zone offense, quick-hitting plays
off the secondary break, man-to-man and trapping defenses, and situational
in-bounds plays is sure to make this second edition even more popular than the
original work (which sold more than 75,000 copies). This latest edition includes
guidelines for physical conditioning, recommendations for job interviewing,
advice on conducting summer camps, and a master plan for handling game
situations. And sprinkled throughout the book are many of Wootten’s “thought for
the day” phrases the coach has found especially effective in motivating and
communicating important lessons to athletes.
Wootten amassed the most successful high school coaching record ever (1,274-192)
during his 46-year career at DeMatha High School in Hyattsville, Maryland. His
coaching has been praised by the game’s best all-time coaches: John Wooden, Mike
Krzyzewski, Bob Knight, Pat Riley, Rick Pitino, Lute Olson, Dean Smith, Chuck
Daly, and others.
Now, in Coaching Basketball Successfully, Wootten shares the wealth of
knowledge that produced a .869 winning percentage, 5 national championships, a
National Basketball Hall of Fame induction, and hundreds of high-achieving
student-athletes.
Just as Wootten is considered the best high school basketball coach, legendary
UCLA coach John Wooden is considered the best college basketball coach. So when
Wooden states that Wootten’s “Coaching Basketball Successfully is as fine
a teaching aid on the development of a high school team and program as I have
ever read,” he speaks with authority on the quality and appeal of this book.
This edition of Coaching Basketball Successfully proves that you can
improve on a classic. With expanded offensive and defensive tactics and new
personal insights from one of the game’s greatest coaches ever, this book is
sure to be a winner for many years to come.
What they are
saying...
"Coaching Basketball Successfully is as fine a teaching aid
on the development of a high school basketball team and program as I have
ever read; and I have studied almost every book that has been written about
this sport. I can also state, without fear of valid contradiction, that it
can be invaluable to a coach on any level."
- John Wooden,
Former Head Basketball Coach, UCLA
"Morgan is such a great teacher! In Coaching Basketball Successfully
he is able to share his ideas on coaching in a clear, precise manner. He
has always amazed me with his ability to organize and teach. This book will
help coaches, players, and fans gain a greater appreciation of our game."
- Mike
Krzyzewski, Head Basketball Coach, Duke
University
"All of us in coaching should be grateful that Morgan Wootten has made his
tremendous experience available to us in this book."
- Bob Knight,
Head Basketball Coach, Indiana University
About the author...
Morgan Wootten compiled a remarkable 1,274-192 (.869)
record in his 46-year career at DeMatha High School in Hyattsville, Maryland.
Under Wootten, DeMatha won legendary national championships in 1962, 1965, 1968,
and 1984. In 1984, USA Today named Wootten the National Coach of the
Year. His teams recorded 44 consecutive seasons with at least 20 wins and won 33
Catholic League championships. Most impressive, DeMatha has finished the season
ranked number 1 in the Washington, DC, area 20 times in the last 33 years.
Wooten first put DeMatha on the national map of high school basketball in 1965
when his team broke the 71-game winning streak of Lew Alcindor’s Power Memorial
(New York) club. More than 160 of Wootten’s former players have played college
basketball, and a dozen have played in the NBA, including Adrian Dantley and
Danny Ferry. More than 20 of his former coaches or players are now coaching on
the high school, collegiate, or professional level. Wootten was inducted into
the Naismith National Basketball Hall of Fame in 2000. He retired in November
2002.
Wootten is regarded as one of the best teachers in the history of the game.
Coaches throughout the world have read his books, watched his videotapes, and
sat spellbound through his clinics for many years. He and his wife, Kathy,
reside in Hyattsville. In his spare time, he enjoys reading, golfing, and
traveling.
