Basketball Scouting Techniques

In Basketball Scouting Techniques, author Eric Stang pulls from more than twenty years of coaching and scouting experience to offer a comprehensive look at the different approaches to team and player assessment—from youth ball to professional leagues. Detailed chapters like “Opponent Scouting,” “Gathering Intel” and “Modern Basketball Positions” offer basic and in-depth breakdown on not only how to gather valuable information on a team or player, but how to apply it. Coaches and general managers can then use this data to formulate game plans, prepare staff and players for the opposition, and help build or improve their teams. For the last several decades, scouting has played a vital role in basketball. The right information can effectively determine a team’s success or failure both on the court and off it. Basketball Scouting Techniques helps eliminate the guesswork from this process and provides a comprehensive breakdown of proven assessment methods for both teams and players. This book gives readers the information they can use to help improve their coaching and scouting knowledge.
