The hand is in a “race” to get to the set point (flat) before the ball is released on a shot.

Short shots are often the result of the hand “losing” the race to a flat “platter” at the set point - resulting in an outward (rather than upward motion) on the release of the shot.

Where is the Energy Leak in the shot?

Momentum from Game Movements, Hips, Arms, & Wrist create a Kinetic Chain of Energy - in the process, something happens out of sequence & energy is leaked.

Players with deep range & shotmaking ability off dynamic movements don’t leak.

Know Your Roots 🪾

Appreciative for the opportunity to be around Adidas ABCD Camp 2026 in Phoenix…

Programming that was about the right stuff.

@MattGrossenbach 10-15k buy-in to play a single guaranteed game for the majority of teams was also not sustainable.

Matt Jones had a great line in this week’s episode:

“If you have the ball, you are the point guard.”

Not by position. By responsibility.

Discussing the value of offensive talk.

@DagsBasketball Having a more consistent language and terminology is what’s new… I think experimenting with the spectrum of how far into CLA is also thing people are thinking about now more than ever.
