STOP STANDING STILL ON OFFENSE This is skill!! The understanding of how to space and move off drives is a basketball skill that many players severely lack, but the ones that master it make themselves super valuable to a team. Players that can move in to space on drives will find

PREPARATION Preparation increases your chances of success. It doesn’t guarantee it, but it helps. This is true in life, and in shooting. Prepare your hands, prepare your body, prepare your mind, and your chances of making shots increases!!

MENTALLY TOUGH SHOOTERS The best shooters I have worked with hate missing. They have an obsession with MAKING SHOTS. That’s what makes them great. They also are quick to find solutions when they are missing shots. Yes they still sometimes bitch, complain, kick the ball…

HALI’S GAME WINNER ALMOST DIDN’T HAPPEN!! Halliburton’s game winner was a great example of how the Indiana Pacers principles of play lead to difficult decision for opposing defenders. Simple principle of play… you dribble at a Teammate they go backdoor (or can go DHO). If

VARY ARC FOR SKILL ACQUISITION We are always varying our shooting workouts to help players mast the skill of shooting. One of the ways we test their control over their shot is by having them shoot with different arc. Not every shot you take in a game will have the same arc,

I am blessed to receive a division 1 offer from Hampton University! Thank you Coach Thomas and the entire coaching staff for this opportunity and for believing in me! #GoPirates NJ ShoreShots Boys cbaalbany Steve Dagostino Coach Q Hampton Men’s Basketball

ALIGN ELBOW TO RIM Great angle of aligning and stabilizing your elbow when drifting or fading on your shot. Before you say you shouldn’t drift or fade… the higher levels you go, the craftier you have to be in finding ways to get your shot off. If you can start balance, align

GAME REPS FOR SPOT SHOOTING A good percentage of passes that shooters receive in games are not inside their frame (strike zone). Incorporating different passing locations, receiving locations (relative to shooters body), and spin on the pass all make spot shooting more

It’s been a great spring for one of our Year Long Development Clients Jack Donohue with NJ ShoreShots Boys

PRIMARY BALL SCREEN READ First read to master for BallHandler in PnR is their defender. If you can reject, reject. If they force you to use the screen, read if they go over or under. If they go under it’s a shot or automatic Rescreen.

WHAT WINNING PLAYS LOOK LOLE Players should play with emotion, in all for it. But when it’s winning time, the focus should be on winning! This clip of Nesmith making a huge shot and then immediately playing full defense to force a turnover is one of the big reasons why he’s on

HEAD TO HEAD SHOOTING CHALLENGE Simple drill that’s in and creative. When coach says go, you must take one dribble and shoot behind the 3 point line. Both players get one shot, whoever makes it first gets the point, then it restarts. This pushes players to speed up, but also

UNCOMFORTABLE SHOOTING Shots that players get in games are random, chaotic, and imperfect. Workout sessions are going to be the same way with shooters going through ups and downs. Can they find their shot when they are tired, not shooting well, and uncomfortable!

ADAPTABLE SHOOTERS The game is played with so much contact, being able to build skill by adding nudges and contact contests allow shooters to be strong in their base and mechanics. This is a great way to build skill.

FINISHING FOR SMALLER GUARDS This clip is great because it shows a couple key details on how smaller guards can be crafty around the rim. 1. Driving Angle - if you can get to the front of the rim, you’ll leave your self 3 finishing angles (middle, right side, left side) 2.

DISCONNECT OF DEVELOPMENT Just because you work and get better at basketball, doesn’t mean you’ll be a better BASKETBALL PLAYER. Basketball is a team game, and if you are unable to play or be part of a team setting, then you are not a productive basketball player

If you’re coaching a team.. would you rather have Lamelo Ball or Andrew Nembhard?

ARE 1 ON 0 WORKOUTS THE BEST WAY TO TRAIN? I moved away from 1 on 0 workouts a long time ago. They are great if the player has a specific technical need. It allows you to slow down and dive deep with the player. Other than that… multi player workouts are exponentially more

REINVEST IN TO DEVELOPMENT A players basketball career has a limited number of years on it. Players that overachieve and outwork their talent understand they are a business and reinvest in to their development. I was having this conversation with one of my nba clients last

STAMPEDE THE CATCH A lot of players play with pace when handling the basketball, but you can also play with pace on the catch. Instead of catching and holding… Stampeding the catch (running through the ball) allows you to quickly get in to your drive and force the close out
