Book excerpt: In today's world of competitive basketball, a lot of information exists about the different systems and methods of the game, but very little time has been devoted to the techniques used to scout opponents or potential recruits. In Basketball Scouting Techniques, author Eric Stang pulls from more than twenty years of coaching and scouting experience to offer a comprehensive look at the different approaches to team and player assessment-from youth ball to professional leagues. Detailed chapters like "Opponent Scouting," "Scouting the Defense," and "Talent Evaluation" offer an in-depth breakdown on not only how to gather valuable information on a team or player, but how to apply it. Coaches and general managers can then use this data to formulate game plans, prepare staff and players for the opposition, and help build or improve their squads. For the last several decades, scouting has played a vital role in basketball. The right information can effectively determine a team's success or failure both on the court and in the recruiter's chair. Basketball Scouting Techniques removes the guesswork from this process and provides a comprehensive breakdown of proven assessment methods for both teams and players. This gives coaches and general managers the information they need to take on opponents, recruit players, draft prospects, or sign the best free agents on the market. It's time to take out the guesswork of developing a winning, world-class squad. Eric Stang has over twenty years of coaching and scouting experience.
