"... Decision-making play a very important role in basketball. While the game is taking place, players are constantly choosing what to do.
In order to carry out this research work, two questions have been formulated:
1) how do high level female basketball players make a decision while they are competing? 2) which key components do they use to make the best decisions? ..."
The media has speculated and sports fans have debated, but until now no one has known the real story. Personal Foul takes an in-depth look at former NBA referee Tim Donaghy and the betting scandal that rocked professional basketball.
Containing never-before-seen documentation and correspondence between the league office, referees, coaches, players and owners, this is the decisive book that reveals exactly what was done and how it all happened. Which games were affected and how? Is it true that referees targeted particular players? Just how much did the NBA know and when? How did the mafia get involved?
Personal Foul answers all of these questions and more. Thrilling and poignant, Personal Foul takes the reader on the journey of one man wrestling his own demons and shines a light on a culture of gambling and "directive" officiating in the NBA that promises to change the way sports fans view the game forever.

Coaching a Mini-Basketball Team
Friday, 22 January 2010
"... The study of the results makes clear that the coach that was analyzed disproportionately works on offense in detriment to defensive work. The coaching situations in which the aspects of offense are developed are mostly without opposition, while in the case of defense, it was more common to face opposition.
The tasks without opposition are planned mostly to work on individual offensive technique, such
as the shot. ..."
"... before a single free throw is attempted, A1 enters the game. The free throw is missed, and:
1.- the ball bounces out of bounds untouched and the clock never starts, or
2.- the ball is touched, the clock runs for three seconds, and the ball is knocked out of bounds before anyone gains control. A1 is substituted and leaves the game.
... what is the rule and the statistical registration according to the eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System ?
"... So, let's look at basketball. Perhaps because the only thing "revolutionary" stated by stats-gurus in regards to strategy has been "Mid-range shots are for suckers," and that wasn't particularly revolutionary, basketball stats have faced less resistance.
Or maybe it's because of the sort of people who own basketball teams compared to baseball teams (I think it's less of an "old boys" club). Really, all that people like Morey, Pelton, Pritchard, Presti, etc. have said is:
1. Efficiency is the right way to evaluate team defense and offense.
2. Defense matters a lot more than most people think it does.
That's it, basically. What's so revolutionary about that? ..."

Blowing the Whistle by Tim Donaghy
Friday, 25 December 2009
"... Commissioner David Stern has called Donaghy's allegations "baseless," saying he tried to implicate others to secure a lighter sentence.
Donaghy said he took part in the betting operation because he was a gambling addict.
He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to engage in wire fraud and transmitting betting information through interstate commerce in the tips-for-payoffs scheme.
He was released from a federal prison in Pensacola, Fla., to a halfway house in June. He was scheduled for release on Oct. 24.
But Donaghy was sent back to prison in August when he was accused of violating his federal probation by not showing up for work, the U.S. Marshals Service said. His lawyer said it was all a misunderstanding. ..."

John Wooden’s legacy as the best basketball coach of all time results not only from his unparalleled championship-winning record but also from his brilliance as a tactician and teacher.
You might say that legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden mentored a generation. During his three-decade career, he instilled life-changing lessons in scores of athletes and fellow coaches.
In this keepsake book, Wooden explains how the power of mentoring rightly applied can foster values even as it aids with success. He movingly pays tribute to the mixed batch of mentors who most shaped his own life: his college coach, his beloved wife, Nellie, Abraham Lincoln, and Mother Teresa.
In the second half of the book, grateful students including Bill Walton and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar turn the tables on him, reflecting on what "Old John" has taught them.

"... Larry Bird and Magic Johnson are transcendent, iconic and timeless standard bearers of excellence who changed "The Game" forever, always bringing out the best in each other and never failing to put a smile on all our faces.
I was one of the lucky ones. I had the incredible good fortune to have witnessed firsthand the Bird/Magic rivalry. It was an intense and constant thing for us all.
But even I didn't realize how powerful their connection was until I read When the Game Was Ours, a riveting and page-turning masterpiece that could only be written with the help of someone like Jackie MacMullan, who was there every step of the way and who sensed there was a whole lot more to their story than what happened on the court or got played over and over again on the highlight reels.
In this book, Larry and Magic tell stories like they never have before. I was enthralled, page after page. Theirs was a unique relationship. They were polar opposites, but in ways few of us realized they were very much the same. They both wanted the same thing, day in and day out--to win. And did they know how to win. ......"
