Getting Good Shots



What is a good shot?

...On balance
...Deomonstrated consistency by player at a give range
...Teammate doesn't have a better shot
...A defender is not pressuring the shot


How do we get good shots?
...Take care of the ball...avoid turnovers
...Look to pass inside to someone posting up on the block
...Catch the ball ready to shoot
...Spread out (spacing) to make it harder for the opposition to play help defense
...Pass quickly
...Set good screens to get teammates open
...Crash the offensive boards -- this includes the wings
...Use ball fakes
...Beat the defense off the dribble to get away from the defender
...Square up quickly
...Use the reverse pivot
...Avoid filling


How do we stop opponents from getting better shots?
...Have a commitment to playing defense. Good defense is an attitude.
...Play alert and active
...Force Turnovers
...Learn the defensive rules
...Limit the opponent to one shot -- box out

SCHS Motion terms, phrases, & concepts


Here are some of the ideas we use when teaching our motion offense at SCHS.
1. V cut
2. pass away from the defense
3. think before you move
4. move with a purpose
5. play within yourself
6. know your capabilities
7. catch and face
8. be ready to shoot
9. hold your screen
10. show a target
11.play your man on offense
12. Wait, Wait, Wait when getting
a screen

Motion Concepts
A. When you pass, move, but do not follow your pass.
B. Do not make 2 simultaneous cuts to the same area.
C. Make use of all screening opportunities off the
ball & move / cut with a purpose
D. Call out the name of the person you are setting the
screen for
E. When you receive the ball, see the rim, post,
action. Hold for a 2 count. Do not pass too
quickly.
F. If a screener's back is to you, hold the ball to see
what develops. Be patient. Do not reverse the ball
while a screen is taking place.
G. maintain 15-18 foot spacing on the perimeter.
H. Dont make a cut into the post players area. Give him
room to work.
I. Only use the dribble to bring the ball up the court,
improve your passing angle, drive the ball to the
basket, get out of trouble.

These obviously arent all original but they are the general ideas and concepts we try to teach our guys.
