Coach Jerry Finkbeiner Comments on my New "Buzz" E-book


Coach

I would like to thank Coach Jerry Finkbeiner for providing this Forward for my new "Buzz" Press E-book:

“High Risk, High Reward” is the defensive philosophy of the “The Twilight Zone” (later “The Buzz,"). Kevin Furtado does a great job documenting the generations and the evolution of this spread zone defense. This defense has helped many a basketball program to generate a high energy gameplay that is pleasing to watch and fun to play, while creating successful win-loss outcomes. From a full time defense to a part time situational defense, The Wall” gives the Basketball coach multiple options to create steals, facilitate fast break opportunities, and to dictate an up-tempo game environment. Congratulations to Coach Furtado in gathering this exhaustive information and bringing it together in a way that can be easily implemented to Basketball programs at all levels today!
RUN, GUN, and HAVE FUN,
Coach Jerry Finkbeiner, The Twilight Zone
