To perfect the set shot let's start with one hand.
The hand should start cocked back, with the ball slightly in front of you.
As you shoot bend your knees, spring up and unfold your arm so that it straightens and flick your wrist to put back spin on the shot.
You should finish up on your toes.
This shot is used when you are standing still and close to the basket. It is also the technique used for a free throw.
Four players standing still make every ball handler's job harder. Teach V-cuts, L-cuts and back cuts so your team gets open and punishes defenders who overplay.
Good team defence is five players guarding the ball, not five separate one-on-ones. The shell drill is where that starts, so here is how to teach help-side positioning and rotations from the first week of the season.
Rebounding is the least glamorous thing in basketball and one of the most decisive. It is also almost entirely a habit, which means it is entirely coachable.
