Book SynopsisRichie Adubato—one of basketball’s most colorful characters and storytellers—chronicles his life in the game, from New Jersey high schools to head coach in both the NBA and the WNBA. Trade Review"[Havin' a Ball is an] appealing account that blends Adubato’s own memories with basketball’s growth over five decades. Recommended for all sports collections."—Janet Davis, Library Journal"If you’re a fan of the Magic in particular and the NBA in general, this is a must-read with Adubato taking us on a colorful, nomadic odyssey through his 60 years as a high school, college, NBA and WNBA head coach."—Mike Bianchi, Orlando Sentinel"Any basketball fan who has heard about Abudato, either through his coaching or his broadcasting, will want to read this book. It has the feel of a chat on the porch while sitting on a swinging bench and enjoying one’s favorite beverage while the coach shares another tale from his coaching life."—Lance Smith, Guy Who Reviews Sports Books“Richie Adubato has a gift for teaching basketball and developing talent, which explains why he became such an outstanding coach at every level. . . . And then there is his gift of storytelling, where Richie takes a backseat to no one. . . . He has quite a story to tell, and he has done just that in this gem of a book.”—Hubie Brown, Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer“Without Coach Richie Adubato, my career would have turned out much differently. I was an undrafted free agent, but not only did Richie appreciate my play, he gave me an opportunity and taught me countless ways to see and play the game of basketball. The added bonus was Richie’s rich and vivid stories, which now make for an incredible read. You are sure to smile, shake your head, scratch your head, laugh out loud, and maybe even shed a tear. Richie is special, and so is his book.”—Becky Hammon, San Antonio Spurs assistant coach“During my time in New York, I had the pleasure of encountering a wonderful assistant coach by the name of Richie Adubato. He helped me tremendously on the professional level, teaching me the intricacies of the game. His tutelage continued to benefit me after my NBA career was over.”—Patrick Ewing, Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer“My first exposure to Richie Adubato came during his tenure as head coach of the New York Liberty. What immediately struck me was the level of preparation he put into his craft and how passionate he was about making sure his players were as prepared as possible for every opponent.”—Doris Burke, NBA analyst and reporter“Richie Adubato is without a doubt one of the best coaches I ever played for. He is a championship coach and, more important, a championship person. . . . Richie’s love for basketball, for people, and for a great story resonate in his autobiography. He has seen it all, lived it all, and now he tells it all with great passion.”—Bernard King, Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer“Two pages in and you fully understand where basketball fit into Richie Adubato’s life. Yet as you move through the pages, you realize it’s more than basketball. It’s a guy who starts from ground zero in coaching and reaches the pinnacle of becoming an NBA head coach, all while maintaining a strong connection to the students he taught.”—George King, sportswriter for the New York Post“Whether coaching men or women at the high school, college, or pro level, Richie always found a way to succeed, thanks to incredible teaching and coaching skills combined with a passion for the game. Richie is a basketball lifer, and it is a life rich with the kind of inside stories that will keep you turning pages.”—Mike Fratello, broadcaster and former NBA head coachTable of ContentsForeword by Dick Vitale 1.

Book SynopsisRobert Mulcahy’s chronicle of his decade leading Rutgers University athletics is an intriguing story about fulfilling a vision. The goal was to expand pride in intercollegiate athletics. Redirecting a program with clearer direction and strategic purpose brought encouraging results. Advocating for finer coaching and improved facilities, he and Rutgers achieved national honors in Division I sports. Unprecedented alumni interest and support for athletics swelled across the Rutgers community. His words and actions were prominent during a nationally-reported incident involving student athletes. When the Rutgers Women’s Basketball team players were slandered by racist remarks from a popular radio talk show host, Mulcahy met it head on. With the coach and players, he set an inspiring example for defending character and values. Though Mr. Mulcahy left Rutgers in 2009, his memoir reflects continued devotion to intercollegiate athletics and student athletes. His insights for addressing several leading issues confronting Division I sports today offer guidelines for present and future athletic directors to follow. Trade Review“From the creation of the Pinelands to the development of the Meadowlands, Bob Mulcahy was there. He brought Rutgers athletics to national prominence. A leader with intelligence and integrity. I have always valued Bob’s thoughts, advice and judgement. You will too!” -- Thomas Kean * Governor of New Jersey, 1982-1990 *“Bob and I shared a bond and a vision that is rare in this era of intercollegiate athletics. He took a chance on me and stood by me through thick and thin. Because of Bob Mulcahy, Rutgers is in the Big Ten Conference. For a man who loves Rutgers and all things New Jersey, what a legacy.” -- Greg Schiano * Head Football Coach, Rutgers University, 2001-2011 *“This book is about a man whose life has been marked by honesty and insightfulness. His candid look at Rutgers and College Athletics makes for an interesting, thoughtful and sometimes provocative read.” -- Mike Tranghese * Former Commissioner Big East Conference *“Throughout his journey of public service Bob led with integrity, adhering to high moral and ethical standards, characterized by an uncompromising compassion for others. His visionary leadership created a family-like sense of community at Rutgers, enabling us to pursue and achieve excellence. It was inspiring to coach during his administration and gratifying to have him share his wisdom and experiences with students in courses I taught. This book is a primer on effective leadership as well as a historical perspective of Rutgers athletics.” -- Marian Rosenwasser * Head Coach, Women’s Tennis, Rutgers University 1981-2003 *Sports Byline USA interview with Robert E.

Book SynopsisEn la creación o desarrollo de los modelos de juego ideados por los entrenadores una de las opciones que se puede tomar es la de la presión tras pérdida dentro de los momentos del juego. Este tipo de presión o este momento en el que se ?decide? presionar suele estar identificado con equipos que quieren llevar la iniciativa en el juego con el balón, dejando el menor tiempo posible el balón al rival e intentan que el tiempo hasta volver a recuperar el balón sea lo más breve posible. La complejidad y diversidad del juego hacen que haya que tener un conocimiento del mismo para su enseñanza y para su aprendizaje en algunos casos. En el mundo del entrenamiento es muy usual intentar encontrar una receta o una formula que resuelva nuestras necesidades y que cubra las posibles lagunas que tengamos en nuestro conocimiento o en nuestra capacidad. El futbol está evolucionando y van apareciendo nuevos conceptos con diversidad de interpretaciones atendiendo a las distintas corrientes a las que seamos más afines. Este libro de tareas no pretende ser una respuesta matemática a las necesidades que pueda tener un entrenador para encontrar soluciones a los problemas que se le planteen. La intención es poder manejar recursos, adaptarlos a la realidad y que puedan introducirnos y orientarnos a conseguir en el entrenamiento los objetivos pretendidos.

Book SynopsisDentro de las acciones técnicas del fútbol, el pase establece las relaciones con balón del juego colectivo entre los jugadores de un equipo y, además, hay que realizarlo con pericia, porque bien interpretada, su defensa es un buen momento para poder recuperar el balón por parte del rival. Cualquier acción requiere una interpretación de lo que está sucediendo, pero no puede ser reflexiva. No existe tiempo para valorar. Si el jugador se para a reflexionar y a valorar, perderá cualquier tipo de ventaja que pueda tener ante una situación. Los entrenadores y las entrenadoras, tenemos que darles herramientas a los jugadores y a las jugadoras, para que su ejecución sea eficaz y para que el jugador sea eficiente. Digo eficaz porque los pases son válidos de igual manera, con la punta del pie que con el borde interno del mismo, siempre que lleguen con ventaja al compañero que va a recibir el balón. Se aprende a pasar equivocándonos en el pase, y pasando una y otra vez en distintas situaciones, lo importante no es que el pase esté bien ejecutado en cuanto a unos patrones de ejecución del gesto técnico (que es lo que queríamos), lo importante es que, cuando lo falle, lo recupere pronto o cómo nosotros le pedimos que lo recupere, para poder tener otra posibilidad de pasar el balón y conseguir que llegue al compañero que era el objetivo.
