Teaching a player how to shoot the basketball is a complex process.

F OLLOWTHROUGH FREEZE THE FOLLOW THROUGH & GOOD BACK SPIN
1. BARROS DRILL – Start in very close to the basket. Make 20 shots from one spot. These shot do not have to be in a row. Then make 5 in a row from the same spot. Take a step back and repeat the drill (20 makes, 5 makes in a row from same spot). Continue until you cannot hit 5 in a row. When completing this drill use only ONE HAND one day, then the next day use TWO HANDS.
2. 7/7 – Pick two spots to shoot from (i.e. the elbows). Spin the ball to yourself and square to the basket and take the shot. The game starts at zero. If the shot goes in the player adds ONE point. If the player misses the shot he subtracts TWO points. The game ends when a player either reaches plus seven (in which case he wins) or minus seven (in which case he loses).
3. Lying down shooting rotations flip – A player should lay on his back and practice the proper backspin for his shot, (TAKE 100 SHOTS BEFORE GOING TO SLEEP).
