Basketball primer
Unlike some people, I was not a basketball aficionado until circumstances forced me to stay awake at the games. The Mom's Guide to Basketball is small so I can sneak looks at it during the game, concise so I don't have to hunt around for the term I'm looking for and complete to the point where I don't have to ask what the boys did every time they do something. It would now be helpful if mom could do a guide to understanding refs who make bad calls.
Very, very, very basic
Honestly, the information contained in this single page folded "flyer"...it's not an 8 page "paperback" as described...could be found in greater detail online with a simple Google search. I feel a little embarrassed for forking over $3.50 for it. I would have never purchased it if I had picked it up at the store and it could easily be mistaken for one of those "take one" flyers you see stacks of in retail stores. I could easily type the entire contents of the flyer in this review in about 10 minutes. I'll give it two stars because it is in a handy format and if you are COMPLETELY unfamiliar with basketball it might come in useful. Be warned though, I THOUGHT I was pretty clueless about basketball...but if you've been to even a few games, this book is way, way, way too basic.
Makes moms look clueless
I feel sorry for anyone who needs to buy this book. Do you live in a cave? Who doesn't know the rules of basketball? Writing this book makes it look like "moms" are clueless, it is very embarassing to me as a woman and a mom.
