Assist from @44beasz He even shouted at me, "MOVE!" 🤣 The lesson: Don't stay stationary! Move! Movement opens up your options. It keeps the defense honest. If you're standing still, the defense needs to exert no energy on defense. #CoachEroo #th3op3rator #theprocess #getbucketseveryday #getbuckets #basketballcoach #basketballstrategy #basketballaddiction https://www.instagram.com/p/B9kVGI0B9Ry/?igshid=h4u00ls3dp86

Catch and shoot notes. Practice at full speed, and be aware of your footwork. When we rush, our margin of error goes up. When we attempt moves at a game speed we've never tried before, we begin to make mistakes. Fluidity comes from repetition, and becomes an unconscious process after many, many repetitions. I've slowed down the footwork on this catch and shoot bucket- notice how steps 1 and 2 allow me to turn my body, and hopping into a triple threat jumpstop (under balanced control), which allows me to shift my momentum into the shot. A quick read of my defender's momentum and distance allows me to choose between shot and dribble. Even on moving shots, notice how my body is still upright and balanced when the ball is released. #CoachEroo #getbucketseveryday #getbuckets #swish #th3op3rator #mambamentality #basketballcoach #bballislife #shootersshoot #curry #stephcurry (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9aD-d9hmvt/?igshid=hlfd9734fkl

#AssistGameStrong #assist to @scottbeme A few notes Notice that Scott attacks the basket as I retreat- the moment there's an opening, he cuts! Notes for the passer- Pass the ball in front of your teammate. The bounce pass is perfect in these situations because it will avoid the defender's outstretched hands, but slow enough for your teammate's momentum to meet up with the basketball. If you pass it to where he's currently at, it'll end up behind him. Learn to envision these cutting lanes- and you'll begin to find the little openings that help your team #getbuckets #getbucketseveryday #th3op3rator #CoachEroo #bballislife (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8xz8ozhb2q/?igshid=w6yxbu9gx5oy

Some Monday buckets A focus this season- taking balanced, unrushed shots. Getting set, keeping my hand under the ball (elbow tucked), and follow through. My first job is to create for my team- setting screens, finding the open man. But when the opportunity arises for an open shot, I've been more conscious of getting my legs underneath me before I shoot. It's making all the difference. It definitely has been feeling better than last season. #th3op3rator #theprocess #getbucketseveryday #bballislife https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ex6u-BRU6/?igshid=xxrcwlk835rg

A 2-3 defense. Why use it? You've got a bigger rebounder than the other team (he can occupy the middle to grab boards) The other team has yet to prove their shooting ability. A good defensive zone to start in, but adjustments may be needed as the game goes on. Black X's are the defensive spots. They are responsible for their "zones" on the floor. In green, I've marked the "in between" spots- the locations that the defense will have to communicate! Who guards the defender? Talk on defense! To attack this zone, a simple rule- get the ball inside to the high post, and move/replace your cutters. Force the defense to guard those "in between" spots- the defense will eventually break down, leaving you a wide open shot! #CoachEroo #th3op3rator #getbucketseveryday #basketballaddiction #bballislife (at Carmel Mountain Ranch, San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ciKZ5hjdW/?igshid=1ur64xgkfo29y
