To help our shooting

[RUsince52]

I'm watching Fla.- Miss St. And during a TO they cut to a segment at their practice BB facility. Seth Curry was shooting jumpers in street clothes from the top of the key. ( He made more than we miss). Anyhow, MSU has a system called NOAH mounted on the wall to the side and above the backboard. They have determined to consistently make shots the arc has to be between 43 - 47 degrees. Curry was at 47 for every shot. The system announces the degree of arc for each shot.
This is something we could use and maybe it would solve some of the shooting woes. I think they explained it earlier in part 1, but I didn't see it. Maybe somebody else has a better understanding of the total workings. Still requires some skill and practice, but it lets you know when you're not doing it right.

Gotta donate for that.

Practice shooting is all you need.

Phil Forte from Oklahoma State makes 600 3 point shots every day as part of his routine......that's NOT 600 attempts, it's 600 makes per day ! He keeps shooting until he has 600 makes.

An ESPN announcer said he only missed two days during his college career.

He is obviously a great shooter or made himself into one. There wouldn't be enough hours in the day for our guys or they would also have to take less credits.

He finds the time. Probably does not watch TV. No one is suggesting 600....maybe it's 400 or 200.

Maybe our guys do practice extra shooting, but it hasn't shown up in games. It wouldn't matter as much if we were able to hit the one big shot once in a while. If it's a process, it's painful.

The form used by some is brutal. I've seen some weird ball rotations. It does seem like our arc is too flat as well.

Even 200 is great. Different thought: Does it get monotonous to keep making them or more monotonous to keep missing them ?

Sure looks that way. One of the TV analysts was saying how you almost know the shot will be good when it leaves your hand. I felt that way when I played pickup games many years ago so I would definitely agree. But there is also a certain confidence level when you're good at it. Just the opposite when you're not.

In regards to practice, Chris Mullin said it's not how many you take, it's how many you make.

Practicing with the wrong form is counter productive. Looking at the rotation on the ball on a few of our shooters indicates a major flaw.

Any tool will help... even if we can find the shooting fairy...lol

I can't stress this enough

They should watch the Pistol Pete homework video for shooting. I know first hand it works.

 

[winfield102]

Some need a total overhaul. Practicing ain't gonna help. Side rotation? Holy hell.

My favorite was the big ball. When I'd go back to the normal ball, it made the hoop seem HUGE, like throwing a tennis ball thru a hoola hoop.

NOAH is very cool, I sat through the sales pitch, the perfect shot enters the rim at 45 degrees and at a depth of 11 inches. It provides audio (voice) feedback on each shot.
I agree with the theory of practicing bad form just perfects it. Teach kids to shoot the right way early.

It just seems like no matter how your mechanics end up if the ball doesn't have the right consistent arc, it's probably not going in the basket. Most good shooters have nice rotation and release and don't really think about it.

Find a good shooting coach. Works for the Spurs.
