BASKETBALL

Technique, Tactics and Tales

By FORREST C. “PHOG” ALLEN

Director of Physical Education and Coach of
Basketball, University of Kansas

ERE is a comprehensive and thorough manual that incor-
H porates many helpful facts for the player, trainer-
manager, or official, in his own phases of the game, that gives
the coach a complete methodology for developing every
factor of team and individual skill, and that interprets the
spirit and technique of basketball in an interesting and
informative way for every follower of the game. The author
explains graphically the most advanced developments of the
game, and through copious use of diagrams and photographs
makes clear every detail of individual and team play.
Offense and defense, both team and individual, are exhaus-
tively treated. Individual and team technique and training
also are fully covered, and all these pointers are coordinated
in game and play formations of many types.

Besides the full treatment of the technique of the game,
the author covers all other departments, from suggestions
for officials and managers, to the important duties of the
trainer. An entire section is devoted to the treatment of
athletic injuries; shows actual tapings, bandages, and braces;
outlines emergency measures; covers diet and conditioning;
gives scores of valuable pointers for quickly restoring players
to condition and keeping them in the game. A special feature
of the book is the group of tales of actual games, showing
how contests have been won by the use of applied psychol-
ogy. These true stories are full of human details that illus-
trate the kind of psvchological strategy which causes men to
outdo themselves and upset unfavorable scores and adverse
conditions.
