Learning and teaching basketball skills and tactics can be challenging. Executing them in competition can be troubling. Mastering them can be a career-long quest.
Is it possible that a single book can provide all the instruction you need to conquer these basketball roadblocks? First you must know exactly how the skill or tactic is properly performed. Check! Then you need to attempt it again and again, with corrective advice through those trials until you get it right. Check! Next comes practice. Lots of practice, with drills designed to make performance of the skill or tactic efficient and effective. Check!
In Basketball: Steps to Success, Coach Hal Wissel covers the entire progression of technical and tactical development needed to become a complete player. From essential footwork to key principles of defense, this guide details the skills and tactics needed to excel in todays game. Shooting off the catch and creating shots off the dribble, running two- and three-player offensive plays, and many more topics in the book will prepare players to succeed in every situation on the court.

As with any project of this magnitude, many people have contributed to its successful completion. I would like to thank Human Kinetics for the opportunity to share my basketball experiences with others. Particular thanks go to Ted Miller, vice president of special acquisitions, Dr. Judy Patterson Wright, the developmental editor of the first edition, Cynthia McEntire, the developmental editor of the second edition, and Laura Podeschi, the managing editor of the third edition, whose patience, suggestions, and good humor helped me persevere through the writing. Thanks to Chris Marion, who took the photos for this new edition. Thanks also to the models in the photos, Monique Ambers, Devon Austin, Matthew Balaj, Christian Callahan, Jill Culbertson, Mychal Coleman, Harley Falasca, Stephen Frankoski, DAndre McPhatter, Abejah McKay, Justin Nolan, Hannah Murphy, Andrea Wasik, Jabrille Williams, and Paul Wissel.
This book is based not only on my experiences as a coach, but also on my study of publications on playing and coaching basketball, attendance at numerous coaching clinics, and discussions about basketball with many coaches and players. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Paul Ryan, my high school coach; Dr. Edward S. Steitz, my college mentor and advisor and the coach who gave me my first opportunity to coach at the college level; the inspiring coaches I have worked under, especially Hubie Brown, John Calipari, Mike Dunleavy, Frank Hamblen, Del Harris, Frank Layden, Don Nelson, and Lee Rose, who gave me opportunities to work in the National Basketball Association (NBA); my loyal and dedicated assistant coaches Wes Aldrich, Ralph Arietta, P.J. Carlesimo, Tim Cohane, Norm Gigon, Seth Hicks, Kevin McGinniss, Scott Pospichal, Joe Servon, Sam Tolkoff, Drew Tucker, and Melvin Watkins; Hank Slider, a master teacher who contributed greatly to my knowledge and understanding of shooting; and Stan Kellner, coach, author, and clinician, who stimulated my interest and research in sport psychology. Special thanks to the many dedicated players I have had the privilege of teaching and coaching and who continue to be a source of inspiration.
Last, thanks to my wife, Trudy, and our children, Steve, Scott, David, Paul, and Sharon, for listening to ideas, reading copy, and questioning methods, and especially for their love, understanding, and inspiration.
Basketball is a team game in which you can help your team by improving your individual skills. Basketball requires integration of individual talent into unselfish team play. It requires the sound execution of fundamental skills, which, once learned, can be connected to the entire game. Basketball drills instill confidence, transfer skills to game situations, and contribute to long-term enjoyment.
Despite the size, conditioning, and talent of todays professional players, basketball success is still determined by ones ability to execute fundamental skills consistently. Fundamental skills include footwork, passing and catching, dribbling, shooting, shooting off the catch, creating your shot off the dribble, scoring in the post, and rebounding. These fundamental skills are integrated into unselfish team play, including fast break, two- and three-man plays, team offense, and team defense.
Although this book is a resource for teachers, coaches, and parents, it is primarily for the player. Players who love the game continually seek ways to improve their skills. This book focuses on the development of fundamental skills and their integration into team play through individual, small-group, and team drills. Disciplined practice of the principles described in this book will improve your skills and build your confidence.
