SHOT SELECTION

  • Rate each shot on a scale of 1 to 4. We take 3s (wide open perimeter shot) and 4s (power shot or a layup) or we are taken off the floor (by the coach) .

  • Know who you are and what your game is. 

  • Do what you do best.

  • Range, rhythm, time, score are all factors in determining where a shot is rated on the selection scale.

  • Shot fakes for balance and control.  Hop backs prevent fade away shots. 

  • Don’t take the shots the defense gives us--get the shots we want.    When shooting off the dribble pick up the ball with hands ready to shoot.

4 = layup or a power shot

3 = wide open shot for a good perimeter shooter

2 = decent shot

1 = bad shot

0 = turnover

A little reminder to our players that Coach Don Meyer uses: "We take a three or a four or we're off the floor."
