Where to begin?
1. That’s very Zen and all…I don’t buy it. Sorry. Not everyone is Steph Curry…and not all basketball is the way certain NBA teams play. Even good 3 pt shooters often still miss 60 percent of the time. You can still be confident and choose to follow your shot. Good shooters miss long or short.
2. Ever hear of long rebounds? Depends where you are on the court…Good shooters have the advantage of knowing where the ball might come off the rim possibly better than anyone else since they are the ones who shot it.
3. Depends on a lot of things…what kind of scheme is your team employing? Are you a 5 or are you a shooting guard? You might need your 5 in the paint after the shot…How many players does your coach have designated to crash the boards? How many does he designate to get back on D? If you’re lighting it up from the deep corner that’s different than the top of the key.
Are you falling back into a zone or a man?
Are you picking up from the basket out?
How is your team getting organized after the shot goes up. It all matters.
Nothing destroys team play like chucking up shot after shot and trotting back down the court. That’s YMCA ball.
Looks like I touched a nerve here. I’ll coach my way and you can coach yours. I can only assume you started coaching before the three point line came into existence.
