Who are the Top Shooting Coaches in the NBA? 

Post#1 » by lilojmayo » Thu Apr 30, 2015 5:55 am

With all this talk about Hack-A-Dwight/Jordan. People's solution is that they need a shooting coach.

Who are the best shooting coaches in the NBA ? the only ones i'm aware of is Chip Engelland ( Spurs) and Dave Hopla ( Knicks)
OJ Mayo , Michael Jordan , Allen Iverson.

The coach doesn't matter if the player won't listen or practice.

Probably whoever is teaching Dwight Howard. He still sucks but his shooting form is much improved since he came to the league.

Whoever helped Elton Brand. ELton Brand couldn't hit jumpers when he entered the league. Then when the Clippers were making the playoffs he was the new Karl Malone hitting mid range jumpers on the daily.

Same with Blake Griffin. His jump shot has improved a lot.

There's Chip Engelland and then there's everybody else.

Chris Jent helped LeBron with his shot, iirc.

Helped BMac's jumper too. It was ass in rookie year and now it's good.

whoever can teach Andre Drummond how to hit a FT at a 70% clip immediately becomes the GOAT shooting coach.

Josh Oppenheimer is the coach for Milwaukee. He also runs his own side business for it with a pretty good client list.

Not a coach but a system I believe in is the Pro Shot Shooting System.

Quin Snyder helped DeMarre Carrol's shot in Atlanta, and Trevor Booker shoots 3's now. So I guess he's doing okay.

Yeah Holger pretty much invented the one-legged fadeaway, and thus one of the most unguardable shots in histoy.
He's been coaching the greatest shooting 7-footer of all-time for over 20 years now.
Several NBA teams tried to hire him (last I heard: Wolves for Rubio) - and he's always been like "Just come to my tiny, dirty gym in Southern Germany, I'll be there & available for anyone who needs help, for free".
He's a multi-millionaire, living in a castle, and running his "Institute of Applied Nonsense" business consulting agency.

Just saying: If you want to become a great shooter, just go to this tiny, dusty gym near Würzburg - he'll be there. At no charge.
I've come to the conclusion that most folks don't really care that you broke one of the rules... they just enjoy telling you that you broke it.
