It starts with shooting technique. General Shooting Technique Foul shooting practice will not help a player with poor shooting technique. Practicing with improper technique results in bad habits that will be hard to change. But we can change them with work on shooting technique, which includes touch, wrist movement, and body alignment. Touch deals with how a player handles the ball.
Players use their fingertips exclusively to handle the ball.
See Diagram 1.Palms and fingers should never touch the ball. Players can practice like Pete Marovitch did by holding the ball properly for multiple periods of time, each up to five minutes. The story goes that Pistol Pete slept with the ball. Your players can develop even better touch if they hold the ball with the finger ends. See Diagram 2.
