I am an AAU basketball coach. Like all other men and women AAU coaches across America we must juggle demanding family... work/travel responsibilities with the needs of the team. To this end, the "GameCraft" official basketball scorebook is a handy tool to store valuable team information. For instance, in the opening pages coaches put the team roster/emergency contact phone numbers and season schedule/with the ability to update scores. Moreover, in the final page coaches can examine the performance of players with a simple season summary data recorder.
However, as every good coach knows...a scorebook is only as good as the scorekeeper. Consequently, I found that this scorebook also provides a powerful "how to" simplified scoring instruction section. The instruction guide is the best I have ever seen and any dedicated adult who the coach trusts to keep score can reliably do so by faithfully studying the instructions for ten minutes or so.
Another nice feature of the scorebook is that it has a sturdy cover that can wipe clean if Gatoraid or water is spilled on it. But be careful, the inside pages are not waterproof.
This scorebook is inexpensive and worthy...for those AAU coaches who play more than 30-games a season...do yourself a favor and order more than one scorebook.
Finally, veteran coaches always conduct statistical reviews to breakdown the team's performance and that of the opposition. Subsequently, I think this scorebook is key for any new basketcall coach trying to quantify games with statistics. Highly recommended.
