Volume II of Basketball's Third Element: Improvisation is in essence a bridge between the theory (Volume I) and the implementation of the theory (Volume III). The theory we have put forth is that there is a third element in each game that goes unnoticed but is highly productive. It requires the use of improvisation which, in turn, is dependent on instincts. This volume builds the basis for Volume III which is essentially a coaching manual for a method of training and playing in the third element. It stays attached, in principle, to the theory of Volume I by developing a case for the technical portion that is the coaching manual. It explains the background of improvisation and instinctive play, the background of the Monk System, and the background of teaching in the system so that third element learning is advanced.
