Download or read book Give and Go written by Thomas Mc Laughlin and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2008-03-07 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the city courts of Harlem to the church halls of Indiana, pickup basketball culture is intensely local and reflects the histories and identities of its players. In Give and Go, Thomas Mc Laughlin examines how players put into play a loose set of values and ethical styles that influence how they think, feel, move, and relate to others within the community. A lifelong pickup ball player—one of modest skills but serious intent—Mc Laughlin has internalized and embodied the culture of the game, and he writes as a participant in the basketball community, putting into words what his body already knows. This book reflects the author's personal experience and observation of the game, through the lens of contemporary cultural theory, and also examines the representation of basketball culture in popular media, including the films Hoop Dreams, Hoosiers, and White Men Can't Jump. As only an insider can, Mc Laughlin takes readers onto the court and into the minds of players as they negotiate the culture of the game.

Book excerpt: When Ruby Mullen took the job as the public relations director of the Valley Falls Strikers, her only concern was working with professional athletes. She despised them. Turns out, the guys on the team were amazing. Well, except one guy. Dallas Ramos. He irritated her. Drove her crazy. His partying ways and womanizing were exactly why she hated athletes. Never mind that it seemed like he’d made a change in his life. Tigers didn’t change their stripes. As the star midfielder for the Strikers, Dallas was used to hard work. He had no problem knocking a guy out of the way, or sliding to take the ball away. His life off the field was different. He could walk into a bar and he’d have women flocking to his side. He didn’t have to work for them. Or at least he used to have them flocking to his side. That was before. Before he decided he wanted more out of life than one-night stands and women who didn’t understand him. Enter. Ruby Mullen. She was constantly on him about something, yelling and arguing with him whenever they were in the same room. Somehow, that turned him on. He wanted her and it was time to do something about it.

Book excerpt: Numerous coaching books cover the skills and drills of basketball, but very few hit on the tactical skills of the game—the situational decisions players and coaches make that often determine the outcome of games. That's where Coaching Basketball Technical and Tactical Skills, an American Sport Education Program (ASEP) publication, stands out. Written by Kathy McGee, the winningest high school girls' basketball coach in Michigan, in consultation with USA Basketball's Don Showalter, this book will prepare you to be a better teacher and tactician of the game whether you coach men's or women's basketball. Technical skills (such as dribbling, shooting, and rebounding) are examined in depth, as are the tactical skills (such as the give-and-go, backdoor cut, and trapping). More than 195 photos and illustrations bring the basic to intermediate skills to life, while sample season and practice plans will help you in your preparation. You'll find quick tips on how to detect and correct errors in both male and female athletes, cues they need to be aware of in various tactical situations, and key information they need in order to make the appropriate on-court decisions. Produced by ASEP and endorsed by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA), this book serves as a resource for the Coaching Basketball Technical and Tactical Skills online course, a part of ASEP's Bronze Level Professional Coaches Education Program. Numerous state high school associations, colleges and universities, national sport organizations, and national governing bodies of Olympic sports use the Bronze Level in whole or in part to qualify coaches. The Bronze Level prepares coaches for all aspects of coaching and is a recognized and respected credential for all who earn it.
