Last year I got a chance to hear University of Florida Head Coach Billy Donovan speak at a clinic in Chicago. The focus of his talk was using the 3 point shot. Here are some of the key points from his talk.
- Each game Florida has the goal of making more 3’s than their opponent
- They want to get their 3 point shoots three different ways, which Coach Donovan terms “The 3 Concepts of the 3”
- In transition
- Post feeds
- Dribble penetration and kick
- Passers should make passes to the shooters inside shoulder, leading them into the shoot
- Have players pass to shooters in drills to develop timing and skill
- Shooters should get 1 to 1½ ft behind the 3 point line and step into their shots
