New Understanding August 4, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
It will be years before I fully understand all the information in this book. It will be months before I will be choosing and coaching my eighth-grade team, but I am already drawing up practice plans with Own the Zone concepts in mind. I just watched Russia hold the USA to 17 points in the second quarter of their exhibition game in China, and they were using the exact zone strategies outlined in this book. The history lesson at the beginning of the book gets tedious and seems to be fluff and filler before the meat, the diagrams, the drills, but overall I would highly recommend this book to any coach looking to bolster their arsenal of defensive weapons.
