Fake Fundamentals

Among basketball coaches and purists, some drills and teaching points appear sacrosanct. These drills persist despite mounting evidence of their ineffectiveness. In Fake Fundamentals, Brian T. McCormick, PhD expands upon The 21st Century Basketball Practice and condemns 10 specific features of the traditional basketball practice. Whereas some or all of the drills and teaching points are common to many, if not most, youth, high-school, and college practices, the frequency of their use does not attest to their validity. Through practical experience as a youth, high-school, college, and professional coach, and research, McCormick demonstrates the flaws with these commonly used drills and teaching points, and provides alternatives to improve the way that the game is taught to young players. While limited to 10 of the most egregious examples, such as the defensive step-slide, the ideas can be extrapolated to all areas of the game.
