Ep. 328 John Carter, The Science of Shooting

In this week’s episode, Coach Brendan Suhr is joined by Noah Basketball CEO John Carter to break down the science of shooting and how data is transforming the way the perfect shot is taught and developed.

Drawing on nearly a billion tracked shots, Carter explains the three critical variables that define great shooting—arc, depth, and left/right accuracy—and why most coaches have historically misunderstood them.

The episode also dives into how the Noah system is being used across the NBA, college, and now high school levels to drive player development, inform decision-making, and eliminate bad habits through real-time feedback.

Suhr and Carter discuss the evolution of shooting analytics, the accessibility of Noah’s backboard system, and how coaches can better develop players by focusing on what truly matters instead of simply getting up reps. This is a must-listen for any coach serious about understanding and teaching shooting the right way this offseason.
