Coach or partner rebounder passes from under the basket to the shooter on the perimeter. Shooter catches in shooting position, sets feet, rises and shoots — no dribble, no hesitation.
The most common shot in modern basketball: the catch-and-shoot three off a kick-out.
• Hands ready BEFORE the catch — fingertips up
• Catch with feet ready to shoot — 'shooting pocket'
• Square shoulders to the rim on the way up
• Same release every time — no thinking
• Hold follow-through until the ball hits
Add movement — sprint to the spot, stop on a dime, catch and shoot. Closing-out defender (live) — read shot vs drive. Rapid fire: 5 spots, 1 ball, no rebounder, sprint between.
