The Complete Handbook of Advanced Multi-Purpose Offensive Basketball Drills is all about offensive improvement. While the 143 drills included in this book are not complex, they are advanced. They are also multi-purposed, and designed so that coaches can revise them to be appropriate for their own particular offensive scheme. The book is written for both veteran coaches and rookie coaches who are just initiating their professional journey. Each drill in the book is a conditioning drill, an individual basketball improvement drill, and a team strategy lesson. Although each of the 11 chapters focuses on a primary offensive goal, each specific drill is designed to also develop many other key fundamentals and team aspects. For example, conditioning is a part of every drill, as are agility, quickness, and body balance. Some of the drills are position-specific, such as the point guard, the shooting guard, the small forward, or the power forward. Other drills involve the entire team spectrum, from point-to-post and everyone in between.

The book features a drills finder, which includes fundamental goals, player positions, the smallest number of players needed to run the drill, and the minimum amount of time required to drill that number of players. The drills finder makes the book an indispensable reference guide for coaches at all competitive levels. As such, during the busy months of the season, the book enables coaches to quickly find what they want to develop, both by skills and by position. The drills finder and the drill description itself give the reader a perfect cross-reference guide.
