Basketball Coaches' Growth Pattern in Europe and America——Also Discuss on Difficulties and Hopes of Chinese University Basketball Coaches Cultivation

As an important part of Chinese basketball movement,Chinese university basketball has a widespread popularity,but the competitive level of its league is still relatively low. Coaching level of university coaches is one of the main factors restricting Chinese university basketball level. By the methods of literature review and interview,this paper analyzed cultivating process of European basketball coaches,education process of American coaches,and growth process of Chinese university basketball coaches. And then it suggested a way to solve Chinese university basketball coaches' dilemma. Conclusions: 1) In Europe,the potential coaches have rich basketball practice experience and higher education background and they improve themselves through the subsequent compensatory learning. 2) In general,American university basketball coaches have rich basketball practice experience and education background of higher education and their development process is more complete. 3) The growth process of Chinese university basketball coaches are various and complex. Compared to European and American coaches' development,China's cultivating process is not perfect,some coaches lack education background or basketball practice experience. On account of these,this paper suggested that Chinese university basketball coaches need to establish an intact coach qualification certification system and in-service education system as well as to improve the in-service coaches cultivating curriculum system,goal system,evaluation system and security system.
