This isn't a comprehensive list but one that will serve you well:

  1. Basketball Methods, Pete Newell
  2. Basketball, Multiple Offense and Defense, Dean Smith
  3. Practical Modern Basketball, John Wooden
  4. Preparing for Special Situations, Herb Brown
  5. NBA Coaches Playbook, Giorgio Gandolfi
  6. Basketball Offense Sourcebook, Jerry Krause
  7. Winning Defense, A Guide for Coaches and Players, Del Harris
  8. Advanced Basketball Defense, Ernie Woods
  9. Own the Zone, Don Casey and Ralph Pim
  10. Let's Talk Defense, Herb Brown

My own contribution is The Simple Guide to Girls Basketball: The Game is for the Players, an Amazon.com ebook (318 pages).

I should add that anything by Kevin Sivils will also be good.
