Foreword This Is a Manual… a Guide… Or Better Yet a Master Plan Designed for the Offensive Improvement of the Perimeter Basketball Player “There is no substitute for hard work!” ~ Vince Lombardi Legendary Pro Football Coach Green Bay Packers Foreword This is a Manual… a Guide… or better yet a Master Plan designed for the offensive improvement of the perimeter basketball player. It is a compilation of over thirty years of observing highly skilled offensive players and the abilities that make them so very special. I believe that a highly effective offensive basketball player can be developed through specialized drills and correct repetition. This manual will be the cornerstone. This MANUAL was also developed out of dissatisfaction. This dissatisfaction and frustration stemmed from witnessing basketball players from other parts of the world whom are more skilled offensively than American players. In terms of pure athleticism – spectacular dunks, acrobatic lay-ups - I believe that American basketball players are unrivaled in the world. Yet, when you discuss pure fundamental basketball, European basketball players, in my opinion, have surpassed the Americans. The reason for this growing discrepancy in fundamental basketball is that the European basketball player, from a very early age, is given specialized basketball instructions. Most of their basketball time is supervised and spent with repetitive drills – 90% of a youngster’s shooting, ball-handling, etc. basketball time should be I can’t begin to tell you the number of 8 and 9 year-old basketball spent in a structured players whom are very tall for their age. Their respective Little League basketball environment coaches make the tragic mistake of sticking them underneath the basket where specialized individual and never work with the youngsters to develop their perimeter game. Six skills are taught. or seven years later, this man-child at 8 or 9 years old that everyone thought would be a seven-footer is now 6’4” – the size of most point guards. I contend that very young players (ages 7-12) should play very little competitive 5-on-5 basketball. Ninety percent of a youngster’s basketball time should be spent in a structured basketball environment where specialized individual skills are taught. This supervised setting where the proper fundamentals are drilled with repetition will create small victories for the youngster and thereby build confidence. But perhaps most importantly, the youngster develops a highly skilled offensive repertoire over time. A player with superior perimeter skills – whether he is 6-feet or 7-feet tall – will be highly effective in any offensive system. The game of basketball demands that you put the ball into the basket MORE than your opponent. Coaches have devised numerous offenses designed to maximize every offensive possession. Yet, ultimately, every offense breaks down into one-on-one play. In fact, basketball is a continuum of one-on-one confrontations. Every time a player receives the basketball, he/she is engaged in a confrontation with a defender. This Manual is designed to train the offensive player with the necessary dexterity to win the majority of those confrontations with the defender. It should be pointed out here that the emphasis is on team one-on-one play not selfish, ball-hogging one-on-one play. Movements are to be as It’s intent is to create special offensive players who are able to score from anywhere on the court in an efficient manner. Regardless of game-like as possible. the offense, a player must have effective one-on-one abilities either in Quickness is important. the post or the perimeter. Team offense is the sum total of each Aggression is crucial. Speed player’s individual offensive skills. The team with five offensively skilled is essential. And over time, a players working together is a team that will be tough to beat. The SCORER’S MENTALITY is crown jewel among Coaches from grade school to the NBA and WNBA is the player who has the ability to create his/her opportunities off the developed! dribble – either for himself/herself or for an open teammate. This Coach’s luxury in a player gives the Coach much more flexibility in designing an offense. With the 35-second shot clock of collegiate basketball, the 24-second shot clock of professional basketball, and the three-point line of both leagues, the player that is able to break his/her defender down as efficiently as possible and get good shots without monopolizing the basketball is coveted. The player must be an offensive threat at all times! This Manual offers a series of what I term as “core” drills. These drills are to be practiced at EVERY workout, for I believe them to be vital in a player’s offensive repertoire. They are the essentials – the foundation upon which other moves are sprung. This Manual incorporates shooting with ball-handling. Therefore, the Coach must emphasize to the Player that not only is he/she working on his/her shooting, but his/her ball-handling as well. The Coach must not allow the Player to get lackadaisical in ones ball-handling while concentrating on making every shot for example… or vise- versa. To perform effectively, all the drills in this Manual are to be as game-like as possible. Quickness is important. Aggression is crucial. Speed is essential. And over time, a SCORER'S MENTALITY is developed! Use cones or chairs to simulate a defender. Position the cone or chair outside or slightly inside the 3-point arc. ALWAYS end the series with 10 free throws. The player should consistently make 9 or 10 free throws. The shooting of free throws after some type of movement drill forces the player to shoot while somewhat fatigued. For the entire workout, the player will shoot approximately 250 free throws. PRACTICE does NOT make PERFECT! PERFECT PRACTICE makes PERFECT! A player will reflect what he/she repeatedly do. Perfection is not just repetition. Perfection is repetition done correctly. Practicing the wrong way, using improper fundamentals and techniques can be very detrimental to the player. It is imperative for the Coach to make certain that the player’s time (… and the Coach’s time) is utilized for progress. If the player is not performing the drill correctly, not concentrating or not working hard, STOP IMMEDIATELY! Make the correction and start over! Never depend solely on just telling the player to do something – teach him/her how and why he/she should do it… then DRILL, DRILL, DRILL until the player can perform the task in their sleep. Implant in the player’s mind that the striving for perfection is the ultimate goal and the reason for being there in the gymnasium. With correct repetition of the drills prescribed in this Manual, ultimately, the Player will be on offensive auto-pilot. He/She will make quick decisions and react without thinking. A lot of Players are looking for a “magic bullet”… the “magic formula”… and I have it! It’s simple! DON’T GET OUTWORKED! That’s the magic bullet! There’s a price to pay to become the best. Quentin A. Jackson Author, Coach, Tech Developer [email protected] “Teach i t until it becomes habit.” ~ John Wooden Legendary College Basketball Coach UCLA The Guide for Individual Improvement of Offensive Basketball Skills “A man can be as great as he wants to be. If you believe in yourself and have the courage, the determination, the dedication, the competitive drive, and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done.” ~ Vince Lombardi Legendary Pro Football Coach Green Bay Packers WARNING: To prevent injuries, the player should stretch and perform some kind of warm-up routine before taking part in the workouts. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Key P ~ The Player C ~ The Coach D ~ The Defender ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “You play like you practice, and you practice like you play.” ~ Morgan Wootten Legendary High School Basketball Coach DeMatha Catholic H.S. Stationary Ball-Handling Drills Fingertip Control Strong hands and fingertips are imperative for basketball success. This drill will help the Player develop strength in the hands. The Player stands with arms straight and elbows stiff. On Coach’s signal, the Player begins by tapping the ball from one hand to the other at arm’s length in front of his/her body. After a sufficient amount of time, the Coach signals for Player to move the ball over his/her head while still tapping the ball from one hand to the other. Then the Player moves the ball below the midsection while tapping the ball from one hand to the other. Lastly, the Coach signals for Player to move the ball from overhead to the waist and below again in an up-and-down manner. Player should perform the drill in 30-seconds. Around-the-Head Player stands with basketball raised slightly above the shoulders. Then the player rotates the basketball in a circular motion around the head. As the player gets a rhythm, he/she should work to increase the number of rotations around the head. The player can perform the drill for 30-seconds. Around-the-Waist Player stands with feet parallel apart with a slight bend in the knees. The player performs the drill by bring the basketball around the waist in a circular motion. As the player develops his/her rhythm, the drill should be done as quickly as possible. 30-seconds. Around-the-Ankles With feet together and in a crouched position, the player circles the basketball around his/her ankles as quickly as possible. Make sure the player keeps his/her head up. This will help him/her gain better confidence in his/her ball- handling ability. Have the player perform the drill for 30-seconds.

Like many rookie and veteran coaches, you probably have had little formal instruction on how to coach. But when the call went out for coaches to assist with the local youth basketball program, you answered because you like children and enjoy basketball, and perhaps because you wanted to be involved in a worthwhile community activity. Your initial coaching assignment may be difficult. Like many volunteers, you may not know everything there is to know about basketball or about how to work with children.

  • Biomechanical Analysis of the Jump Shot in Basketball
    Journal of Human Kinetics volume 42/2014, 73‐79 DOI: 10.2478/hukin‐2014‐0062 73 Section I – Kinesiology Biomechanical Analysis of the Jump Shot in Basketball by Artur Struzik1, Bogdan Pietraszewski1, Jerzy Zawadzki1 Basketball players usually score points during the game using the jump shot. For this reason, the jump shot is considered to be the most important element of technique in basketball and requires a high level of performance. The aim of this study was to compare the biomechanical characteristics of the lower limbs during a jump shot without the ball and a countermovement jump without an arm swing. The differences between variables provide information about the potential that an athlete can utilise during a game when performing a jump shot. The study was conducted among 20 second‐league basketball players by means of a Kistler force plate and the BTS SMART system for motion analysis. The variables measured included the take‐off time, mean power, peak power, relative mean power, jump height, maximum landing force and calculated impact ratio. Surprisingly, more advantageous variables were found for the jump shot. This finding suggests a very high performance level in the jump shot in the studied group and a maximum utilisation of their motor abilities. Both types of jumps were characterised by high mean and peak power values and average heights. The high forces at landing, which result in considerable impact ratios, may have prompted the studied group to land softly. Use of the countermovement jump without an arm swing is recommended to assess and predict the progression of player’s jumping ability.

  • The Fundamentals of Shooting the Basketball
    The Fundamentals of Shooting the Basketball The objective of the offense in Basketball is accuracy of each attempted shot. Most players recognize this; but, only the better shooters learn how to practice correctly and work at improvement year round. Since most of this practice sessions are alone, every player must be his own critic. This means he\she must understand the proper mechanics that affect the success, or failure, of every shot. Every player must know his range and know what is a good shot. Therefore, before examining the techniques associated with the various shots, a good basketball player is expected to have in his arsenal, here are the principles at work in every scoring shot from anywhere on a basketball court. These are divided into two parts, the mental aspect and the physical aspect: 1. Mental. At no time is psychological conditioning more critical than when shooting the basketball in a game. Knowing when to shoot and being able to do it effectively under pressure distinguishes the great shooter from the ordinary. Regardless of how much he practices, or how well he conditions himself, only a modest amount of improvement is possible in speed, reflexes, or strength. History gives many examples of players able to achieve greatness despite mediocre physical talent. Usually, however, such successes are due to determination. a. Concentration: is the fixing of attention on the job at hand and is characteristic of every great athlete. Through continuous practice, good shooters develop their concentration to the extent that they are oblivious to every distraction. Ability to relax: is closely related to concentration.

  • 2Nd Grade Practice Game Concepts and Drills
    2nd Grade Practice Game Concepts and Drills You should be cycling through these various game concepts and drills at every practice. Through repetition and consistency, the kids will learn how to play the game of basketball, properly shoot the ball, shoot a lay-up, pass, and dribble. At this age, they don’t need much variety. Keep things simple and repetitive, so they can build good habits. Refer to the Basketball Skills Progression Document to see the correct form on dribbling, passing, shooting, lay-ups, footwork, and game concepts. Pick one drill from each of the following categories for each practice: • Game Concepts/Scrimmaging • Passing • Dribbling • Lay-ups If there’s time, there are other drills that you can do, listed at the bottom. Dribbling, lay-ups, passing, and some kind of scrimmage or game play should be all done at every practice. Game Concepts Yes, this seems very basic, but we are laying the groundwork for these kids becoming good basketball players. There is no sense in teaching them about any fundamentals if they don’t understand how the game works at a basic level. You may need to take a few minutes at each practice to remind the kids about basketball game concepts. • OFFENSIVE CONCEPTS o At this level on offense, we really want the kids to learn: ! Quick passes ! Go directly to the lane with your dribble. ! Don’t force a shot if it isn’t there. ! Try to work the ball around and get a shot in and around the lane. ! Minimize the fast breaks and focus on running a disciplined offense.

  • Officiating and Ball Handling Lesson Plan
    Officiating and Ball Handling Lesson Objectives: The purpose of this lesson plan is to be able to understand the rules and regulations of basketball, hand signals and terms of officiating and a wide variety of different ball handling skills. Time: 45 minutes Equipment needed: Basketballs and basketball hoops, computer, overhead projector Classroom: Start off with video on rules and regulations. Then go over the signals for traveling, carrying or palming, double dribble, jump ball, goaltending, over and back, and time restrictions (10 seconds to cross half-court, 5 seconds to get rid of ball when you pick up your dribble or defenders within arm’s length of you, 3 seconds in key area). Then go into different fouls that can be committed. These would include personal fouls which are considered as any physical contact such as hitting, pushing, slapping, holding, and an illegal pick and screen. Other fouls can be committed when a person is shooting, if they don’t make the shot, they get 2 free-throw shots, if they make the shot, then they get one free-throw shot, but if its in the 3 point range, then they get three if they miss. The team is allowed 7 fouls per half, after that the other team goes into to bonus, which is one- and-one, once they get passed 10 fouls, they are in double bonus and they get 2 free-throws for any foul committed. Some violations are charging, which is an offensive foul when the offense runs into the defensive player while their feet are set.

  • Jump Shot Mathematics Howard Penn
    Jump Shot Mathematics Howard Penn Abstract In this paper we examine variations of standard calculus problems in the context of shooting a basketball jump shot. We believe that many students will find this more interesting than the use usual manner in which such problems are presented in textbooks. Angle of elevation 60 degrees Suppose a basketball player takes a 15 foot jump shot, releasing the ball from a height of 10 feet and an angle of elevation of 60 degrees. What is the initial speed V0 needed for the shot to go in? If we neglect air resistance, this is a typical ballistic motion problem. The equations are [1] gt 2 x(t) = V cos(q )t, y(t) = - +V sin(q )t + h . 0 2 0 0 2 For this problem we have g=32 ft/sec and q = 60 . Since the ball is released from the height of the basket, we can take h0 to be zero. The range is given by V 2 sin(2q ) d = 0 . g If we set d = 15 feet and solve for V0 we get, 15*32 V =»23.5426 ft/sec. 0 sin(120� ) Suppose that later in the game, the player takes another jump shot from the same position but, maybe because she has tired, takes the shot with an initial angle of elevation of 30 degrees. What is the initial velocity needed this time? Since the angles are complementary, the initial speed will be the same: 15*32 V =»23.5426 ft/sec. 0 sin(60� ) Figure 1 shows the path of the two shots.
