#basketballstrategy #basketballcoaching Screen misdirection This one was so... Calm... After getting ready with a screen for a teammate (check up), I notice my defender is sunk low, anticipating the screen and roll. He's too far down, and so I slip behind my teammate @shaaday1226 (who adjusts his footing for a screen)- leaving me wide open for the three pointer. Bucket. It only takes a split second to recognize these opportunities. It's awesome when teammates work together on the same frequency- those buckets in rhythm are always fun to watch. Funny because this is the first time Rashaad and I played on the same team- we met during coed rec, playing for different teams.

Friday buckets The pattern @chanceisearly takes the ball to the basket- his athleticism allows him to get to the basket... Yeesh he's quick and tough to guard... My strategy- get the ball... Dribble and run upcourt but AWAY from him like he's "it" in a game of tag... Use the little spacing I have to launch a long open three. 😜 Basketball is all about timing and spacing, so be strategic about how you run down the floor! #getbucketseveryday #th3op3rator #bballshootingcoach #bballcoach #basketballcoaching #operationbasketball #pickupbball #pickupbasketball #basketballstrategy (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4tVyskhJEN/?igshid=k29veuuza2mk

Shooting notes There's a lot that goes into your jump shot. The initial preparation actually begins while the ball is still in the air. A small hop allows you to set your feet. Some people like to anchor a foot and step into their shot, but it limits their pivot foot (in the case they need to attack) On the catch, a dip may help the trajectory of the ball- giving it momentum and a path to "take off" from. (Keep in mind, some closer shots won't need a dip- doing so only allows the defense to catch up) Rise up and stay balanced. Your core should be locked in, and more core strength is needed for every degree you lean to the side and backward (except for forward lean). Every bit you lean only decreases your chances of making the bucket. Keep that elbow tucked in. It sneaks out for me when I rush my shot, and my guide hand thumb has a bad habit of getting involved with the shot as well. It's the little adjustments that create linear trajectory. These are the variables that tend to be the reason I miss. Follow through. The flick of the wrist is where you create backspin on the ball. This allows the ball to bounce off the basket softer.

Pump fake Spacing is a concept that exists in just about every sport- the room left between you and the opponent determines the outcome- whether the offense scores or not. In basketball, a defender's momentum is often used against them. Oftentimes you'll find that a defender will scramble to recover during a switch, or to defend a move they know they've been beat on before. So when the defense runs at you to block your shot, don't rush- stay balanced and pump fake. A well timed reset dribble can give you the space you need- once the defense is out of reach- fire away 🔥🏀 Don't expect to hit this shot without practice- most of us shift our weight upward during the pump fake- so practicing that m movement is essential before you try pulling it in game. Be aware- your eyes are the first thing that the defender looks for. So your head is the first part of the pump fake- the moment you direct your eyes at the basket, the defender will likely hesitate and try to block your shot.

Won in triple overtime... Sudden death Came down to the wire, and we only had 5 on our side... And it came down to free throws. Other team airballed their 1-and-1 chance, and then fouled @elihamson - who hit the ft for the game. Funny... My first shot tonight airballed... It was on target, but fell a bit short. So on each of my shots tonight, I made sure to give the ball a little extra. And it just so happened that those shots swished through the net perfectly. I haven't been shooting too well this season.. I've been leaning forward on my shot, and pushing instead of shooting. After Friday's buckets and threes, I reminded myself to stay balanced and to just shoot my shot. I've been in my head - trying to keep my elbow in and my thumb off on the guide hand. Too much thinking has led to missed shots, too. And so tonight, the shot fell. "When did you become Kemba Walker with the stepback?" 😜 Got some praise tonight from the other team. Felt good, especially with the 3OT win Did you make your health a priority today? We did. #getbucketseveryday #th3op3rator #healthisapriority #getbuckets #threepointer #bballislife #bballaddiction #basketballvideos #bballshootingcoach #TrustTheProcess (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3oP1qVhAOG/?igshid=7m3cj6utkzjy

Three point quick release. Had a conversation with a student the other day about when to shoot the ball. Defensive positioning comes down to where the defender's feet are, and how their hips are positioned. Their stance gives away your "momentary" advantages- a foot forward gives you a lane to drive, while the perpendicular line from their feet leaves the biggest shot opening. There are three quick reads that are necessary to start- first, is where the defender is when you catch the ball. If they're unfamiliar with your game, they'll usually leave enough space for the shot (until they begin to respect your shot and close out higher). If they're too far down, start balanced and release your shot. If they close out too fast, read their front foot and determine your attack. If they challenge your shot, pump fake and choose from open options. Next, is the dribble- to the shot. Watch as the defender "sleeps" during repetitive dribbling. Their heels sink to the ground, and they lose their momentary advantage. Another reaction to read, is when they close the gap while you retreat. Their forward movement should be countered with an attack- making it extremely hard for them to recover. Next video will discuss the options of the drive. #basketballvideographer #basketballaddiction #bballshootingcoach #bballcoach #basketballcoach #igbasketball #getbucketseveryday #th3op3rator #basketballvideos @thebest_shous @_rayfernandez @josepepeja @dennisjikim @francethefoodie (at Carmel Mountain Ranch, San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2UeBMbAvqx/?igshid=1ddltq1iyz7h9

Friday basketball is back... Finally enough to run 5s. Some buckets from yesterday 😊 even though it was hot in the gym, it felt good to get back in the rhythm of things. #getbucketseveryday #th3op3rator #basketballneverstops #basketballvideographer #ballislife🏀 #bballcoach #bballshootingcoach (at Carmel Mountain Ranch, San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2IYgCGhXBj/?igshid=i1lelfhq3l5j

"th3op3rator"// The Operator "Because I connect from long distance" The majority of my long distance makes are from the left side of the court. Why? It's simply mechanics. A right handed shooter improves accuracy by lining up their shoulder, elbow and wrist to the basket. The right shoulder is more easily aligned to the basket when a player is moving to their left. A pass is usually received on the right side, placing the ball in a perfect, ready to shoot position. The same is true about a lefty, but in reverse. During catch and shoot, the ball is often placed directly in the shooting pocket- the only necessary motion left is to go up! By receiving the ball on the right side, the turn toward the basket only takes a moment, before you're aligned! During a dribble move to the left, an experienced shooter can pickup the ball with their left, and place the basketball directly into the aligned shooting motion for a quick release! #Swish #getbucketseveryday #th3op3rator #bballshootingcoach (at Rancho Bernardo, San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw80XU4hKe9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wwuwfx2rxeoy
