Recently got into a debate with a coach on using traditional numbered basketball positions for coaching 1 point guard 2 shooting guard etc. What are the benefits? What are the drawbacks? Is that old school? Have we modernized to new language? Should we still use it or not? What does SAVI think?

Off-season is shooting season. And making shooters better isn't as hard as people think — you just need the right lens. Here's the move that changes everything: → Position 1 (load): hips down, chest up, ball loaded near the middle of the body → Position 2 (the magic move): lift the ball to two without firing the hips → Position 3 (release): push down on the floor as you push out on the ball Most young shooters lift the ball and the hips at the same time. The hands and hips are linked by a chain — and the whole game is breaking that chain. Down at two = power transfer. Pushy and inconsistent if not. Watch the breakdown!

Hi Savi team. I've recently gotten into debated regarding Coach & Player dynamics in today's world (As we know, today's generation of kids are different with social media and how they interact with authority. With the context that everyone's situation is different. Here are my questions. 1) What are your thoughts on Coaches playing online video games with their players- Assistants specifically. 2) What are your thoughts on Coaches taking a select few players to outings- Grabbing lunch, going to the mall, going to other games together, etc. Not as a team- only with "their guys" 3) If you were a Head Coach, and your staff was participating in things like this, how would you approach it? Part of the debate is that Coach-Player relationship can sometimes be stronger with this dynamic as it builds trust and rapport, while another side of the debate was that it blurs lines and that accountability becomes harder to enforce.
