Evolution of 180 Shooter


Book Description

***"Brian McCormick's philosophy is an absolute game changer for shooting development. This book provides easy to implement ideas to evolve skill development for players and coaches at all levels." - Kenny Atkinson, NBA Head Coach*** In 2009, I published 180 Shooter, which described my teaching methodology and drill progressions as a private shooting coach in the prior decade. A few players set NCAA shooting records and became All-Americans, but others struggled, and I examined the cause. I attributed some of their failings to my coaching and workouts, and I quit private coaching. Over the last decade, I worked with teams as a head coach and a consultant. I have coached very good shooters - one finished second nationally in 3-point shooting percentage and another set the college's record for 3FGs - and very good shooting teams: 3rd in 3FG/G (9.7), 6th in 3FG% (37.4%), and 9th in FT% (72.6%). Evolution of 180 Shooter chronicles the evolution of my thinking over the last decade and challenges the prevalent shooting dogma. My greatest changes have been to re-define game-like shots and appreciate the environment's role in developing shooters. This is not a technique or drill book; it focuses on our culture of shooting - from our practice, to the extra shots, to the comfort and confidence - which develops shot makers. - ***"If you coach basketball at any level, read and study Brian McCormick's writing: It will re-calibrate your view of the game. You will think differently about basketball and how to teach the game to others." - Lindell Singleton, Head Coach: The Game Matters AAU***
