Hoop Fundamentals -THE SHOT - Hoop Fundamentals - Dave Johnson, Basketball Coach Skills Trainer

Discussing shot mechanics

A good shot starts with your feet

Your feet should be roughly shoulder width apart

With your knees slightly bent create a "U" with your arms

Then "drop and pop" with your legs and finish up on your toes

Make sure to control the ball with your fingertips

B.E.E.F. = Ball over Elbow, Elbow over Foot.

Release the ball and follow through by pointing at the center of the rim

The release should be smooth

...like buttahhhh!
