Message: [QUOTE="Hoophound, post: 4101847, member: 271"] His shot needed a rebuild. I don’t think they forced that on him. Use one hand, square up to the basket from 3 feet and shoot with perfect form until you make 5 in a row, take two steps back and repeat. As progression allows, you will get out to three point range. He should be drilling set shots from 3 with one hand like they are free throws by now. It’s a choice you make to rebuild a shot and for whatever reason, many coaches never see the value in doing it. In other cases, the player just refuses to work on it. If the above routine is followed daily, a good athlete will be a reliable shooter in a few months. I think part of the problem is that if you haven’t done it, you can’t appreciate it. I had a coach rebuild my shot when I was 14. I had an odd, self taught form prior to that. For whatever reason, I bought into his pitch that if I did it, I’d be the best shooter in town. I liked that idea and I shot everyday just as he told me. In about 6 months I was such a good shooter that if I was in a gym just about anywhere, people would stop what they were doing and just watch. I have helped quite a few kids do the same over the years. It isn’t hard, it takes commitment of time and discipline to follow the plan. [/QUOTE]
