Better Shooting Drills | Smart Offense for Basketball Coaches

[@iceyjo]

Coach, I know you didn't ask, but as a shooting coach myself, I have stressed that you cannot improve shooting quickly with a low heart rate. If your BPM is 170 in a game and 110 in practice, you are not training for the game. Simple drill: Run to the other end of the court and make a layup. Run back to the other end and make a three-point shot at the top of the key. Have them repeat this entire drill until they make three shots and time them. You will see they shoot the same percentage they do in a game. I have improved players shooting % by 5% in a summer simply by increasing heart rate and always being in motion just like a game.

How long does it take to run this drill?

Great drills! Only thing im noticing is a small detail. And i got this detail from Kobe. On the shot fakes, players are already placing there feet ready to move instead of placing them as they would for an actual shot. If they learn to work on small details like making a fake an actual fake, they'll have even more success in actual games and later on.

In that first drill, can you explain why you have guys driving baseline and making that corner pass? I just don’t think that pass is most effective but I was curious to know your reasoning!

[@PGC_Coaching]

Good question Coach, and good eye. I think you are referring to the baseline drive where we hit the opposite corner. This has actually become a very common and effective play at higher levels. It might not be as effective in younger ages because of ability to make the pass. If its not a good one for your age and stage, stay away from it. If it can be made at your age and stage it is a tough one for the defense to recover to.
