Why "Don't Dip" Coaching Is Ruining Shooters

If I locked a 10 year old in a gym alone and told him to teach himself how to shoot, then handed him off to a 1990 coach, the kid who taught himself is coming out with better rhythm and better alignment.⁣

That old school "don't dip, 10 toes to the rim" coaching isn't wrong because it can't produce shooters eventually. It's wrong because of how long and how hard it makes the process. You're shrinking the pool of shooters you can develop by fighting the player's natural rhythm instead of building with it.⁣

Bad coaching doesn't just fail to help. It actively gets in the way. #shorts
