Welcome to the NBA Coaches Playbook, developed by the National Basketball Coaches Association (NBCA) in conjunction with the NBA. In the pages that follow, you will have access to the knowl- edge of many of the best and brightest basketball coaching minds in the world. Our NBA coaches and those at the top level of the sport interna- tionally are the great teachers and strategists of the game and are the key components in facilitating the extraordinary individual and team performances we witness throughout the season. NBA Coaches Playbook is a treasure trove of basketball instruc- tion and insight and is sure to be a frequently referenced manual on every coach’s bookshelf. Each person who contributed time and effort to this book deserves our gratitude. The NBCA should also be acknowledged for donating its share of the proceeds to NBA Coaches Care, a ticket purchase program for disadvantaged youth, operated in cooperation with the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. I encourage you to take advantage of this great opportunity to tap into the experi- ence and wisdom presented in such a clear and useful manner. I can assure you that at various points of the NBA seasons ahead, you will be glad you did. David J. Stern NBA Commissioner vii This page intentionally left blank.
