Basketball Shooting

By Gary Boren, Basketball Shooting Coach for The Dallas Mavericks, Mark Mason and Denny Price

Forward by Don Nelson
Head Coach and General Manager
Dallas Mavericks

The game of basketball is one of the most popular games in the world, and the skill of shooting is the most important within the game. The majority of all points scored come from free throws and outside two and three point shooting combined, so the purpose of this basketball shooting book is to help players improve their shooting skills in these areas, or coaches who want to help others shoot better.

In basketball, you have to score to win and you have to shoot to score. In the basketball shooting book we first address free throw shooting, because it is the foundation of all shooting. On an outside shot, the upper body should be doing the same thing as on a free throw. Then we address outside shooting. All of the above is presented in a straightforward fashion so anyone can use the information to become a better shooter. Then we provide instruction on how to become a better scorer.

He served in the same capacity when Nelson became Head Coach of the New York Knicks in 1995, and again when Nelson moved on to become Head Coach of the Dallas Mavericks in 1996. During this time, he served as free throw shooting coach for US “Dream Team II”, Gold Medal winner at the 1994 World Championship of Basketball, and shooting coach for the US Women’s Paralympic team, Bronze Medal winner at the 1996 Paralympic Games.

That was followed with a near record 83.7% in the 2002 playoffs. Boren now serves as full basketball shooting coach for the Mavericks. In addition to his work in the NBA, Coach Boren shares his proven teaching system with Division I College Head Coaches and their coaching staffs.
