B-Tips from Coach "D" Shooting: Top 10 Fundamentals - Shoot only within your range. - Shoot with balance. - Keep eyes on the target. - Follow through until ball goes through the basket. - Jump off both feet. - Jump straight up and come straight down. Try not to lean and/or fade away. - Release the ball as you reach the apex of your jump, not on the way down. - Release with a soft, relaxed wrist flick. - Shoot with reasonable arc; not too high, not too flat. - Follow your shot. “You can practice shooting eight hours a day, but if your technique is wrong, then all you become is very good at shooting the wrong way. Get the fundamentals down and the level of everything you do will rise.” --Michael Jordan
