I’ve had good results using differential learning with the kids I coach. As they go through a shooting drill, I give them, on each rep, a random number 1,2, or 3. One is lots of time to shoot. 3 is no time to shoot, and 2 is somewhere in the middle. Kids will perceive the time constraint and begin to find solutions for getting the ball off based on the time allotted. Results aren’t instant, but they seem to translate well to their in game play.
So, in which shooting situations should players get that full hip turn into a back pedal? What you're saying makes total sense and I encourage my players to get "everything" moving towards the target when shooting as well. Most coaches also understand there is much importance when shooting to get that full hip twist and upper body turn, which naturally leads to a backpedal. Are you saying when practicing these drills, work on getting your body to the target. And in gametime scenarios, it's up to the player to take what they can get?? Appreciate what you do for the game!
Normally when you are shooting on the run you wanna finish in the back petal but something like a step down shot is more like an MLB pitcher coming off the mound
I was at a coaches clinic and learned that the back pedal motion is more geared for younger players who hip mechanics aren’t there yet. Advanced players should be ending their shots on the run with a curved side step towards the goal, like in Deemer Classes lay up drill video.
Well thought out content and great delivery. Appreciate the time and effort you guys put in to help others. Thank you!
what are some drill or tips you have for getting your hands back faster and having a faster release with your off hand
This is a hard one that we get a lot. Faster release is tough besides playing with more of a sense of urgency when you train!

I think the back pedal is a different school of thought than what we teach. it re enforces fading away from the net.@@tymontgomery6941
