IMO, shooting is the most important and worst taught element of basketball. Juan Ortega shares a FIBA shooting clinic.
- You shoot with your whole body.
- He reviews hand, foot, and knee position and alignment
- "Shoot to the sky" (arc development)
- Steve Nash shows us that the elbow is in
- 10:15 Coach emphasizes shooting off the dribble and separating
- 11:10 Demonstrates drill with pivot into dribble stepback
- 13:15 DRILL - Form, rebound, outlet, cut around screen, catch and shoot (good drill with a partner)
- 14:38 Modifies to fake, cross, shoot
- Detail-oriented, correct execution
- Technique, repetition, variety but always remember technique
- Emphasizes building in pressure elements (e.g. how many shots to make 10)
- 22:10 DRILL - 2 line pass, cut, and shoot (rebound your shot), modify into fake and one dribble shot.
- Reminder: "set up your cut...'true and false' game"
- Fake slow to go fast
- DRILL 28:18 Low cut to high (elbow), work shot and/or fake into drive
- DRILL 31:00 Catch and shoot into opposite backscreen/flare screen shot
- DRILL 37:30 Simulate scoring off screens
