In this episode of Coach Unplugged from the 5th Quarter Studios in Madison, Wisconsin, host Steve Collins discusses creating good shots in basketball with a guest coach. Steve starts by encouraging listeners to leave reviews and thanking the sponsors, Doctor Dish and ttubes.com. Doctor Dish is highlighted as the top shooting machine, while ttubes.com is promoted as a comprehensive resource for basketball coaches with a 14-day free trial and 1-on-1 mentoring.

The discussion focuses on strategies for creating good shots, emphasizing transition play. The first seven seconds after gaining possession is considered the optimal time for an open shot, supported by analytics. The guest coach stresses running in transition to beat the defense. They discuss the subjective nature of a good shot, introducing the "ROB" acronym (Range, Open, Balance) to define it.

They explore methods for creating good shots through actions like dribble hand-offs and pick and rolls, designed to create advantages. The role of the shot clock is addressed, with the guest coach explaining their approach at the high school level by encouraging players to take the first good shot as the clock winds down.

Practice strategies are highlighted, including small-sided games and drills like 3v3 back tap to simulate game situations and create advantages. Emphasis is placed on teaching players to quickly push the ball up the floor, using drills that start players behind half court to practice transition scenarios.

Both coaches agree on the importance of clear communication and consistent expectations for what constitutes a good shot. They stress that regular practice and reinforcement of these principles are key to effective offensive play. The episode concludes with Steve thanking the guest and reminding listeners to subscribe to the podcast on Apple, Spotify, or their preferred platform.
