Hall of Famer Rick Barry is the host and instructor for this basic introduction to playing better offense in basketball. Beginning with a breakdown of the steps necessary for a good shot, Barry goes on to demonstrate set shots and jump shots before offering a series of offensive moves which are keyed to the position of the defender (he and a student play one-on-one). The tape concludes with Barry's unusual but highly effective underhand free throw. While neither as detailed nor as inspiring as Swish: Shooting by Herb Magee [reviewed in our June 1989 issue], this is still a good program with the added attraction of the name recognition factor for enthusiasts of basketball. (See GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK...THIS SPECIAL LEGACY for availability.)
