Championship teams will attest that they each do their part to the best of their ability to contribute to the team's overall success. When individuals and their goals and desires become more important than the team's you will never achieve the success a team is capable of achieving. The coach brings a team together by constantly communicating roles, and the team needs versus the individuals. Individual players should play tennis, or golf where they can get all the accolades they want for their own individual performances. The answer is a qualified yes.
Many Universities now offer classes in coaching.
However I believe quite strongly that this is not the best place you will acquire the most useful coaching knowledge. The best place to learn about coaching is on the court. Mentorship is the best teacher and you can do yourself a great service by going and volunteering to work with some of the best coaches in your area in their camps, clinics, or practices, absorbing everything you see and hear. In professions like plumbing, electricity, or carpentry , young apprentices are understudies to people of great knowledge and skills. I believe the same is true for Basketball Coaches.
