Resumen

The aim of this paper was to know the coach point of view about the critical moment concept in basketball. The methodology used in our research is a qualitative methodology. The instrument used to obtain the data was the semi- structured interviews. There were interviewed 12 ACB league coaches during the 2011/12 season. Results show that incertitude is associated to the critical moment concept. Last minutes of close games and also overtime are identified as critical moment of the game. There is not any variable in statistics considered by all coaches to determine the critical moment, and they were agree that respecting some game rules is basic to face up the critical moment.
