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
Coaching Tools
Coaches typically use a sketch board during games to describe plays and provide an overview of the strategy of the opposing team. Another effective coaching tool is copyrighted by Bobby Night. This tool is throwing your chair across the court. Nick Wehling coach of the Pacers in 1989 uses his "tool" to motivate his players into playing a good game. "Using my tool is a gift I inheirited from my father, he taught me how to use it every sunday".

Coaching Youth Basketball
The proper development of young basketball players is the most critical element in the success of basketball as a sport. Youth coaches must focus first on building a love and passion for the game in their players. If kids don't have fun playing the game, chances are they will end up not playing the game any more. This love for the game can and should be taught through the teaching of the basic fundamentals of basketball. Teaching basic dribbling, passing, shooting, and man to man defensive skills provides numerous opportunities for the kids to enjoy the sport in an environment that they can also learn. See the Fundamentals sections below for more information on ways to teach these skills.
