Re:Help with Basketball Practice - 2007/08/27 19:50 I agree.. Sometimes slowing down is much better and hard is not a true indicator of good. However, for someone who has been to multiple camps and trainers and has a good sense of basketball related teachings, hard can be good. Sometimes you peak and you need someone to challenege you a little more. This is when proper feedback of hard relates to good.

Re:Help with Basketball Practice - 2007/08/28 01:14 well it doesn't matter because I can't get to his camp anyway. So all i can do is just practice on my own.

Right now im working on conditioning in the morning.
Haha I'm having trouble driving, but i think this time i just need the confidence to make that move. New people so i've lost a little confidence.

Okay i'll keep you guys posted on whats going on.

The best person that I have seen to teach ball handling is Jason Otter. If you go to Jason Otter school of basketball he is amazing. i am in the same business as he is and I can honestly say that he is the best in teaching quick handles and being a good ball handler. Check him out and let me know what you think.
Jason Otter and Ganon Baker are two of the quickest ball handling trainers I have seen. Both are extremely intense and push their students to stretch their performance envelope. If you can get past all of Jason's panting and grunts, he actually is quite talented. I would probably give him a slight edge over Ganon in terms of speed and creativity. However, I think he sometimes gets a little careless with the ball when he tries to push the speed of his blow-by moves. Speed and intensity are good things to develop and push hard at, but balance and body control are just as important, as well as, the ability to change speeds.

I have not observed, in person, a training camp by either of these two exceptional trainers, but from studying their DVDs, I have no trouble believing that their training camps are very intense and strive for full-speed executions. What I don't know is how effective they are in providing corrective feedback. There is no question that THEY can do the drills well, but can they get a player not as skilled in these areas to become as skilled as they are?

Many times these training camps are quite motivating for a few days, but then they are over and the mastery has not been transfered. There are just too many students and not enough time and repetition. As we know, mastery takes time and practice to proceed through the various learning phases. Guidance needs to be provided throughout each phase as finer technique details are added and incorporated.

Just my thoughts...

Re:Help with Basketball Practice - 2007/09/09 05:10 So, now i have trouble shooting over tall defenders. I have to go up against a freshmen 6"6, and he just stands in the paint to block my shot. Even when i create distance by using my body, his arms are still logn enough to block him. He doesn't even jump to block. Any ideas on how to counter it?

ive really only been able to use floaters and pullup jumpers to counter his D.

Re:Help with Basketball Practice - 2007/09/09 07:55 Creating space away from a taller defender gives him the advantage. You need to take away a taller defender's space. You want to get your body on his and use the body to protect the ball. I think inside hand lay-ups and reverse lay-ups work best against tall guys, from experience. I scrimmaged against a 6'8 guy for a while and if I started at the ft line or further outside, I could get a step, use my body to protect the shot and finish with a reverse lay-up, extending and using the width of my body to protect the ball.

If you can't do that because you're too small at this point, sometimes you have to hit the pull-up J or floater to draw the big away from the basket to give you an opportunity to create the advantage in your favor.
