Book excerpt: “Coach taught me the game. . . . He's like a second father to me.” —Michael Jordan “Dean Smith epitomizes what a coach can be-teacher, counselor, mentor, example, friend.” —Bill Bradley “He's a better coach of basketball than anyone else.” —John Wooden For forty years, Dean Smith coached the University of North Carolina basketball team with unsurpassed success.

In his wry, sensible, wise way, Coach Smith takes us through every aspect of his program, illustrating his insights with vivid stories.

The keystones of Coach Smith’s coaching philosophy are widely applicable and centrally relevant to building successful teams of any kind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What others in sports are saying about The Best-Laid Plans... "Randy and Matt have put together a great book for building a high school basketball program. ...This book would be an excellent read not only for high school basketball coaches, but also for coaches of all sports and all leaders of young people." from the Foreword by Bob Huggins "This book is a great source of information for any coach or interested reader about how to properly run a basketball program and lead young people. I personally have observed many of the ideas in this book, especially during Randy's career. In my years of high school and professional sports, I have not found a better blueprint for success than that which is presented in The Best-Laid Plans of a High School Basketball CEO." Dean Chance - 1964 Cy Young Award Winning Pitcher - All-Ohio and State Champion Basketball Player "I came to know Randy very well while recruiting one of his players. He runs as good a program as I have seen throughout the country. Randy and Matt Kramer have put together a great tool for design and example in how to lead a high school basketball program from top to bottom. The Best-Laid Plans comes to you with my highest recommendation. Brad Brownell - Head Men's Basketball Coach - Clemson University A leadership book, a book that offers tips on how to run a sports program from kindergarten through high school, an inspirational underdog story-The Best-Laid Plans of a High School Basketball CEO is all of the above and more. Here's a sample: Matt Kramer's boys' basketball team from Navarre Fairless High School was perhaps the worst in the Canton (Ohio) area, finishing 3-19 in 2004; in 2005, he was sitting on a coaching "hot seat" at 0-12 in the middle of January. His program and his career were left for dead... ...Twenty-six months later, Coach Kramer was standing on a ladder in the Canton Memorial Field House cutting down the nets after his Fairless team won the prestigious Canton Division-II District Championship Game in overtime and earned a spot in Ohio's Division-II "Sweet-16." Miracle? No, it happened with hard work, a little luck, and the mentoring of a legendary 500-win coach, Randy Montgomery-ideas that are now shared here in The Best-Laid Plans of a High School Basketball CEO. Matt Kramer Born the son of a basketball coach on July 16, 1969, Matt Kramer spent his childhood in a gym by Dan Kamer's side watching him run the program at Archbishop Hoban High School in Akron (Ohio). Kramer went on to play at Hoban, graduating in 1987, then went on to a two-year career as an NCAA Division-III collegiate basketball player at The College of Wooster for legendary coach Steve Moore. After transferring to Mount Union College in the fall of 1989, he incurred a back injury that ended his playing career and sent him down a career path in coaching and education. Married to his wife Christine since 1996 and father of three-sons Luke and Landon, and daughter Olivia-Matt Kramer shares ideas and stories here that range from being inspirational to heart-breaking, illustrating the roller-coaster ride a twenty-one-year career in coaching can be. Randy Montgomery A Hall-of-Fame high school basketball coach, and a disciple and close friend of West Virginia University head coach Bob Huggins, Randy Montgomery has spent over three decades using his innovative approach to lead two high school programs-Wooster Triway and North Canton Hoover-to elite status.

Book excerpt: Growing Up Great, by Butch Pierre, chronicles his lifelong love and coaching of basketball and serves as a template for moral and upright living, in and out of sports. His memoir enlightens the reader to the development of high school and college/university basketball coaching and recruiting, as he grew through the ranks, setting and breaking records, amazing coaches and peers alike while developing his own style. Butch Pierre also gives a glimpse into his strict upbringing and faith-based family life in Louisiana. His father, who almost died when Pierre was young, miraculously survived to encourage Pierre to strive for greatness in all that he set out to accomplish. Pierre's promise to his mother that she would one day see him on television buoyed his spirit and underscored his earnest efforts not to disappoint her. His steadfast adherence to his parents' teachings, enrichment of his faith, determination to surpass the ills of society without letting them distract him from his goals clearly illustrates the making of a person of destiny. Butch Pierre has become one of the most successful assistant basketball coaches in the country, a great recruiter, and an exemplary husband and parent--not only to his own children--Langley, Joe, and Josh--but also to his young basketball recruits. His lifework is a testament to his belief that anyone, no matter how humble his or her beginnings, can achieve greatness. Furthermore, once greatness is achieved, it becomes incumbent upon that successful individual to share valuable life lessons with others.

Download or read book The End is Not the Trophy written by G. David Odom and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Odom's new book, The End Is Not the Trophy, is a look at the former Wake Forest basketball coach's lifetime of coaching and sports--from his early days growing up in Goldsboro, North Carolina, through his high school and college years, and into his successful career as first a high school coach, then a college assistant, and finally a nationally renowned college head coach. Prior to Odom's arrival at Wake Forest in 1990, the university had never played in more than two straight NCAA tournaments. Under his guidance, he led Wake to two ACC titles and seven straight trips to NCAA post-season play, the seventh longest in the country. The End Is Not the Trophy looks at the people who have influenced him and answers the question, "Why coaching?" Odom talks about his stint in high school coaching and his progress through the ranks until he was named Wake Forest's head coach--one of America's premiere coaching positions. With humor and revealing candor, Odom shares his world of basketball at its highest level and discusses what the life of a basketball coach is really like. The End Is Not the Trophy is a guide for young or would-be coaches, a sports fan's delight, and a must for anyone interested in basketball and the life led by those involved in coaching the sport. "In discussing the coach's function in any sport, Odom makes a number of arresting observations: a coach who is not a teacher is not a good coach; a coach who relies only on computer printouts and other statistical data ignores the humanity of his players. Most intriguing of all, he claims not to read articles about himself or his team in the press, for he believes that sports reporters don't know as much about the game as he does." -- Publishers Weekly "Odom's maiden voyage into the literary world is a refreshing diversion... to its credit, The End is Not the Trophy is short on the personal and long on the philosophical." -- Greensboro News and Record "A must for any individual who would like to pursue a dream in the world of coaching... David is one of the brightest minds in college basketball who learned his craft at the high school level and has coached successfully for many years in the highly competitive world of ACC basketball. David Odom's philosophy is Awesome, baby, with a capital A." -- Dick Vitale, Sports Commentator "Coming up though the Wake Forest basketball system, Coach Odom taught me many things. Many of these had to do with basketball, yet many were valuable life lessons. The value of friendship, togetherness, and pride--among other things--helped each and every student-athlete grow and mature on and off the court." -- Tim Duncan, San Antonio Spurs

Download or read book Dead Coach Walking written by Tom Penders and published by Reedy Press LLC. This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renowned college basketball coach Tom Penders revisits his successful, if tumultuous, career in a new autobiography Dead Coach Walking: Tom Penders Surviving and Thriving in College Hoops. One of the winningest head coaches in NCAA Division I basketball history, Penders reflects on four decades steering programs at 7 universities-Tufts, Columbia, Fordham, Rhode Island, Texas, George Washington and Houston. As he lifted them from depths of "death row" to winning glory, he enhanced his reputation as "Turnaround Tom." Penders achieved success with distinction: he has coached more NCAA Division I basketball programs than any coach in history and has taken four different schools to the Division I Men's Basketball Tournament. He also retired in 2010 ranked 4th total among active coaches in games-coached, trailing only Connecticut's Jim Calhoun, Duke's Mike Krzyzewski and Syracuse's Jim Boeheim. In Dead Coach Walking, Penders talks about the teams he led and how he dealt with athletic directors, conference commissioners, assistants, AAU coaches, the NABC and the NCAA. The book also goes behind the scenes, revealing game strategies, coaching personalities, locker room stories, and experiences on the recruiting trail. Penders' perspective, while sometimes controversial, is riveting not to mention entertaining. Dead Coach Walking is truly as unique, quirky, and remarkable as its subject.
