John Wooden's UCLA Offense is truly much more than a textbook and DVD. Like Einstein and Newton, Coach Wooden was able to take a sophisticated theory and present it in its simplest, most useful form. In that way, his revelations about the components, continuity, flexibility, and creativity of the offense provide coaches with a tool akin to what the wheel and light bulb offered people in previous eras. Coach Wooden and Swen Nater ensure that you'll have everything you'll need to enlighten your offensive attack and get it rolling better than ever!
Bill Walton
Basketball Hall of Fame

John Wooden's UCLA Offense reminds me of just how meticulous the greatest basketball coach of all time was in teaching the game and devising winning tactics. Even more valuable than the detailed Xs and Os are the many insights offered by the coach throughout the book and DVD. Learn from the best to teach and coach your best.
Tom Izzo
Michigan State University head coach

John Wooden is widely regarded as the best basketball coach of all time. He enjoyed a successful career as professional basketball player before becoming a coach.
