Over the past 5 weeks, My team and I have worked with 30+ High-Level High School, College, and NBA players. I've been fascinated by each player's individual constraints. It's been such a cool process dissecting each player's shot and helping guide them towards solutions. Through this process, we've identified 5 "non-negotiables" that regardless of variability, differential learning, and adaptability, if these 5 are constant, the basketball has a great chance of going in! 1. Hand placement (Shooting hand in the middle of the basketball) 2. Straight ball path (Up the body from the '1' Position, not swinging right or left) 3. Proper sequencing under the basketball as it stabilizes at the '2' position (body attaches under the ball when the 2 position is formed) 4. Straight Follow Through with pointer finger to the floor 5. Wide and Balanced Landing, shoulders forward on tippy toes What are your thoughts? Am I missing any? Do you know any GREAT shooter without these 5?

Hey all! I was just named varsity boys head coach. My first head coaching gig after 4 years as an assistant. We’re having a “meet the coach” open gym next week for returning and prospective players. My plan is to have a brief intro of myself and my coaching style philosophy for about 5 minutes for the parents/players and then have the boys go 5v5 while I mingle and talk with parents and/or players. I may be overthinking this but anyone have any suggestions on doing anything more with this opportunity? It is a recruiting opportunity as there will be players there looking for new homes. Thanks!

What are your thoughts on the Spurs losing the 29 point lead?

I interviewed for a coaching position this morning for a private school in Texas. The conversation with the AD was great! He wants to hire me on. It is a stipend position although. He told me to apply for 2 positions to compensate me more. He inform me he would put me at the front of the list & let the board know this is a good candidate to hire.
