- The Encyclopedia of the Triangle Offense by Championship Productions:
This 3 DVD set of a Tex Winter clinic is pricey but by far the most useful guide to the offense that I know of. Tex shows how to implement the offense from the ground up. He starts with the very basics: the 7 principles, proper passing technique, and proper footwork. He then goes through the entire basics of the triangle: line of deployment, moment of truth, the two passes, solos, and some breakdown drills. The 3rd DVD comes with a hit or miss film package of the the old Jordan Bulls teams and Shaq/Frobe era Lakers running the triangle. The clips are great and the film package shows deeper levels of the triangle, but the audio dubbing is badly timed and becomes confusing.
- NBA Coaches Playbook:
The chapter on the triangle, written by Phil Jackson and Tex Winter, is the clearest explanation of the offense I have come across.
- FIBA Assist Magazine:
This also has an explanation of the triangle written by Tex Winter, but the translation is a bit off and the diagrams are terribly placed. But hey, it's free!

- Phil Jackson - In My Own Words:
I believe this was filmed for Lakers season ticket holders. Phil Jackson and his staff quickly go through the basics of the offense. Good explanation of the moment of truth as well.

- The Triple-Post Offense by Fred "Tex" Winter:
Last, but certainly not least, is original bible on the offense published in 1962 by the innovator of the triangle himself, Tex Winter. The triangle is described in painstaking detail along with diagrams for every option of the offense at that time. Tex also writes about what he believes it takes to be a good coach complete with philosophical approaches, ideal practice schedules and advice for life in general. A lot has been added to the triangle since 1962, but a remarkable amount has remained exactly the same.
