March Madness Tip 14: A MODERN DAY LOST ART 
A MODERN DAY LOST ART
Many will say that the mid range shot (12-17 feet) is a lost art in today's game. They say that if they had a team that could accurately hit shots from the elbow, short corner, free throw area and any other spot on the floor from about 12-17 feet out that they would win significantly more games.
While I tend to agree and see where they are coming from the fact is that there still are players today who have a good to great mid range game. If fact, those players are some of the best players playing the game right now when you consider the NBA level, but I want to stop and reflect for a moment and shed light on an even bigger lost art.
Let's talk about a lost art that is something many coaches don't realize can be worked on to great lengths and help drastically improve player's and team's shooting. It's called MOVING WITHOUT THE BALL!
"Playing without the ball is a lost art. It's one of the most important but overlooked aspects in shooting. Most defenders aren't willing to chase players around the court. (Especially when they don't have the ball) Even an average shooter can become a threat by playing well without the ball. " -Glen Rice
Coaches. Do you teach and breakdown the movement of a player without the ball?
No, I'm not talking about showing the flow of an offensive play. I'm talking about taking time to teach players the different kinds of cuts they can make both toward the basket and away from the basket.
Do you take time to teach players different types of screens that can be set in order to free up a teammate?
When we look at some of the all time great shooters like Reggie Miller, Chris Mullin, Larry Bird, Ray Allen, and Michael Jordan just to name a few I believe we often remember how good they were at shooting and forget how great they were at moving without the ball.
How many times do we remember a player like Ray Allen hitting a clutch 3 pointer but forget the 5 screens he ran off of to get open to hit the shot?
I believe that moving without the ball is one of the most important factors in becoming a great shooter. Players today have made this a lost art with the popularity of AAU basketball. Just look at the University of Kentucky's games from earlier this season up to now. A lot of the early season games featuring their highly recruited freshmen players looked like an AAU All Star game where they would pass the ball and then stand and watch the player they just passed it to or pass and jog to a spot on the floor not expecting to get the ball back. Coaches, next time you catch yourself seeing your offensive players standing around, instead of yelling "don't stand" and expecting your players to start moving and showing some life, let's stop ourselves and teach them how to move, where to move, and how to become a greater threat. Having a great shooter on the floor means nothing if you can't teach them how to get great shots.
