I have two shooting techniques I use for basketball games. An over the head shot used for medium to close range, and your style (thank you by the way for teaching me) for long and 3 pt range. Is it a good idea to use two shooting techniques?

I guess my question is - Why would you or do you, use two techniques?

Shooting is all about muscle memory, repition and consistency.... so how can you be good at two techniques? Why can't you use one technique for both shots?

I wouldn't ( and never did ) recommend that to any of my players.

Fanny: I must agree with coach Sars, how can you utilize two methods of shooting especially during a game. I would think you would get mixed up when to use each technique. By the way, what level are you playing at?
