| Summary | Annotation The greatest coaches in basketball are great for a variety of reasons. Some are brilliant offensive minds. Others are geniuses at creating unyielding defenses. All, however, are exceptional leaders and visionaries. In Beyond the X's and O's, 79 Hall of Fame basketball coaches share what they've learned about leading men and women, offering practical leadership lessons that can be applied to winning on-and off-the basketball court. The roster of contributors is a veritable who's who of coaches: Phog Allen, Clair Bee, John Chaney, Denny Crum, Clarence "Big House" Gaines, Red Holzman, Hank Iba, Bob Knight, Mike Krzyzewski, Joe Lapchick, Ray Meyer, Lute Olson, Jack Ramsay, Adolph Rupp, Dean Smith, Pat Head Summit, John Wooden, Morgan Wooten, plus many more. Each of the coaches has left or will leave an incredible legacy. This book fleshes out those legacies in great detail and reveals how leadership can emerge in various forms with a range of benefits. Some coaches focused on character development or value-based coaching, and some introduced unique or unorthodox philosophies. Others were great planners and doers, getting key buildings or infrastructure up and going. A few left their mark in the sport sciences, mixing sports in new or imaginative ways with psychology, physiology, or sociology. And many created fresh systems of scouting and recruiting. No matter their methods or contributions, every coach in this book has a legacy of life and leadership lessons that coaches and basketball fans alike will find worthwhile and useful. |
