Coaching Basketball by Jerry Krause (not that Jerry Krause) is pretty comprehensive. But it's pretty old, so a lot of the tactics are probably outdated by now. But it's fine for getting used to basketball related terminology.
I strongly recommend Half Court Hoops on Youtube. No frills, just straight to the point, TONS of plays from NBA, NCAA, and even travel league.
And the final book I recommend is SABA: The Antifragile Offense by Brian McCormick. It's not a collection of plays - in fact the book advocates the opposite. Instead of teaching young players specific plays and offense, it emphasizes using certain actions to create "small advantages" (like a switch forced by a PnR or a close out created by a ball reversal) and teaching players to grow that "small advantage" into a "big advantage" (a wide open shot or a layup). In short, it teaches athletes "how to play." I think it's the natural next step from the read and react offense, and a great way to think about basketball offense and teach it in the modern era.
