Brianna Joy Garza gets at something I think most head coaches miss completely: you have to reward the shot, not the make.
Her "failure to shoot" constraint is brilliant. If a player is open in an advantage drill and hesitates instead of shooting, that's the mistake, not the miss. Blow the whistle, sit them down. You're not there to defer, you're there to shoot.
Most coaches react emotionally to makes and misses instead of grading the decision and the process. Good alignment, good rhythm, right shot in our offense... that's what you coach to. The make or miss is just variance.
Build that habit enough times and hesitation disappears. That's how you develop a shooter who trusts himself in the moment that matters. #shorts
