Basketball - "Repetitions Make Reputations"

If you can’t make 5 shots in a row, uncontested and on the move in a WORKOUT, you most likely can’t shoot in games🤷‍♂️

The best players shoot near 80% in workouts🎯

Take workout reps SERIOUS‼️#basketball #basketballworkout pic.twitter.com/zBdzGdoX2x

Watched a high school game recently where the initial three 'three point shots' were all airballs. 

Some coaches 'greenlight' shooters based on practice 'range testing'.  Make a given percentage of three pointers to 'earn the right to shoot'. Roy Williams required shooters to make 60 percent of three pointers in practice to 'greenlight' threes in games. 

Test players along radians with 'distance'.

I used a drill in the offseason with players starting at three feet. Make it, move back about two feet. Make two consecutive or move in a foot. The goal was to make it to the three point line. 

Here's a link to helpful ideas for shooting including "Championship 38." Consider using cellphone video to study your form and quickness of release. Be 'shot ready'. 

 

Lagniappe. Standards. 

COACHES...never apologize for having high standards...that’s loving your players beyond what they can see or understand!

Lagniappe 2. Film study opportunities.  

I figured today I post some other critical factors that I have learned to focus on while watching film. I hope this helps coaches when they are scouting opponents. Film studying is important. pic.twitter.com/yNAx6shhit
