Coach (basketball)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Basketball coaching is the act of directing and strategizing the behaviour of a basketball team or individual basketball player. Basketball coaching typically encompasses the improvement of individual and team offensive and defensive skills, as well as overall physical conditioning.

Coaching is usually performed by a single person, often with the help of one or more assistants.
