This type of repetitive practice will do nothing to progress Flagg's shooting.
🗒️Repeating the same shot over & over is not representative of the complexity of in-game shooting & gives the illusion of improvement without affording the variability needed to meaningfully grow.
Watched Cooper Flagg get 400 shots up on the gun after practice. No question he's making significant progress with this part of his game. Absolutely dominated both days of practice with this passing and defensively, both on and off the ball.

Maybe it is time to actually start using evidence-based practices at the youth level instead of focusing on 1-0, 5-0 "fundamentals"
I understand that these were not our best players, but there is no reason with the right developmental ideologies that this should be the result
Turkey defeats USA in the third place game of the U19 World Cup. Led from start to finish and were clearly the better team. Bigger, smarter, more skilled, better organized. Big wakeup call for USA Basketball. Will have to recruit and prepare better. Talent gap has been erased.

Love this shooting game for 1⃣-1⃣ or small group workouts.
Whenever I ask players where their eyes should be when shooting, they say "the rim🗑️". Is that enough?
This game forces them to consider additional variables (the location of their defender). Fun to see guys adjust🎯.

Transactional Coaching.

2. Pitting of players vs coaches. Us vs. Them language. "If only the players did what the coaches asked..."
3. They don't, for MANY reasons
4. Coach blames players, citing immaturity
See this playbook way too often.

1) If only option is 1-0, make it variable
-shoot from diff spots, diff footwork every time (L/R, R/L, jump stop, etc
2) Ideally, work with others. Do reps w diff types of closeouts. Play 1-1, but you can't score in the paint.

As a college player I did the same thing Flagg did every day. 500 makes-often when my friends were out partying. I never became a good in-game shooter at that level.

Just bc good game shooters can shoot well repetitively on a gun doesn't mean that is why they are good shooters.

-adaptable & can shoot multiple ways

A beautiful illustration of the complexity of 🏀 in a single offensive possession.
Basketball is complex. Simple things stacked together often create advantages. Our kids understand that simple does not equate to easy however it often results in beautiful basketball. Watching players make decisions then adapting and adjusting to the response is fun as a coach.

Most of the reb drills I did from youth to college = static. The coach shoots from 1 spot, and offense runs directly in (from static spot).
In games, O comes from unexpected angles, and D makes decisions on who to take on. Variability 🔑

@Hennen_Workouts
Hey Shane, Thanks for your response.
I'm not suggesting that players only do complex variable training. In fact, I think adding bits of variability (repetition without repetition) can be simple/can be done on one's own and is almost always more beneficial than what is shown here

This is ridiculous. We need to get players implementing creative solutions and playing fast, not slowing down & stalling.
🇺🇸 coaches: “Let’s develop players like in Europe.”
So, we should have a 24-second shot clock starting at u14 like in FIBA?

How could we use a constraints led approach in practice to improve an offense of NBA players who need to operate in a diff context?
-Tell players that any time they run high P&R, it is an automatic turnover
-Award diff pts in practice for trios and duos
Just some ideas! (3/3)

I think blocked practice helps you as a player feel comfortable. Before a game, for confidence--sure.
But if I'm trying to IMPROVE someone's skill--I would contend that blocked shooting is never the right solution.

Regardless of how immature a player is acting, belittling them in the media or externally is not going to lead to change.
All this does:
-Shames the player
-Eradicates trust
-Prevents any meaningful change from happening
Instead of putting him on blast, handle it in house.

The off-balance constraint for an entire team might not be the best idea as it is likely that some of the best in-game finishing solutions require players to be at times off balanced/leaning.
However, in a 1-1 SSG with bigs who are learning footwork, this could be really useful

Yep. This type of repetitive gun work decouples perception (of the defense/game) and action (shooting), which is the most critical part of shooting--that connection.

But most of all, it was engaging & joyful, which in a tough season so far, we really needed.
Easy to see people celebrating big wins around you and get discouraged. Some years it rains a lot. Stay patient and stick with it.

than to attribute their success to the players they were around. Otherwise, the role of a coach is diminished.
