Andy Toole: Individual and Team Shooting Drills Robert Morris head coach Andy Toole expands your shooting drill library with this presentation designed to increase your team’s shooting ability. The 2014 NEC Coach of the Year breaks down his shooting drills into those for pre-practice, practice, and team drills during practice. Coach Toole helps players identify a good shot, which is a key in developing better basketball players. Pre-Practice Drills Players learn the concept of a good shot in a series of three pre-practice shooting drills. The drills train a player to be ready to shoot at all times.

Attacking the Pass is a drill that puts footwork and catching form against a defensive closeout. A better catch beats the closeout. This drill helps players develop a consistent shot that will be successful at a high percentage. Toole builds on that footwork in the Nine Shot drill where players learn to shoot off of screens. Sweeps is another drill series that produces high percentage shots. Practice & Team Drills Coach Toole works on a critical area of shooting – penetration shots.
