BRAD Shooting, aim for BACK RIM AND DOWN
Why Not Aim For The Middle?
A lot of coaches teach that the middle of the basket is the target for shooters. And, if the ball was being dropped straight down, it would be.
The mental leap that needs to be made is a shift in perspective – over to what the ball ‘sees’.
The opening of a basketball hoop is round. Fact… well, sort of. Why sort of? The ball doesn’t see the hoop the way we see the hoop.
Every shot in basketball is coming in at an angle.
Back to Boren: “Here’s the key… You must understand what the target (hoop hole) looks like to the basketball from its peak altitude. On a flat shot, the ball sees a thin soap dish-looking ellipse. On a higher shot, the target gets bigger, but is never round (to the basketball).”
Because the angle of entry is, well, at an angle, the ideal entry point or sweet spot, where the ball has the biggest area of entry (target), is displaced toward the back part of the hoop.
The science to the art of shooting is simply: the higher a shot’s arc, the wider the opening into the rim.
Nowadays, Noah Basketball and ShArc (Shot Arc Analysis), can be used to validate what Boren had been teaching all those years before tech stepped in: “…the ideal entry angle for a three-point shot is about 45 degrees … [The] most skilled shooters studied use even higher trajectories.”
By example, Steph Curry’s shot is near mathematically optimal at 46-degrees. [1]
That may have been overkill, but that should give you some confidence for why you should aim for that spot.
Finishes= Speed Finish (off 1 foot, underhand finish)
Power Finish (you have a size or power advantage and are in a crowd, land on a jump stop with your shoulder square to the backboard)
Doughnut Finish= Stride Stop, shot fake, front pivot (used to create space against taller player or if your defender is in front of you)(link is for doughnut video)
Here a great example of the doughnut in an ncaa mens game
Counter Dribble= When cut off, wrap dribble
Remember we won't take 2 dribbles in row if they aren't towards the rim. If chest to chest after first dribble, wrap to counter.

Playing .5 Basketball of the catch. You are the most open when you first catch the ball. The link below is to a Spurs assistant coach explains the drill we did today that led into 1 v 1 (off the window pass.
Euro step
Watch the below video, it breaks down James harden executing the move.
I talked about side dribbling or skating to open up driving windows after bouncing out, Watch the below video of Kelsey Plum and see if you pick up her side dribbling or skating to open up driving lanes
Snatch= 1.Pick a should er and stack full speed 2. If defender is catching you or in front stop on a 1, 2 step (inside foot, outside foot) 3. Use a snap dribble to keep it protected.

Then watch this video of this coach talking about how to dribble against pressure and see how it links up with the snatch.
Finally here is a video of Milos Teodosic, he's 6'5 so he's big for a point guard, a lot of these will be out of pick an rolls, but notice how he aware of everything on the court, how he finds shot for his teammates, and how smooth and in control he is.
Remember, It's more important to be UNDER CONTROL, than it is to be fast.
