Coach Dave Hopla on Shooting the Basketball

As is a well-acknowledged fact in Bench Units circles, we have to face the truth that all the basketball nuts & bolts that us and our listeners live for are almost entirely irrelevant without some level of competent shooting. 

With neither of our hosts being qualified to lecture you on the subject, we've brought in not only one of the best to ever do it, but one of the best to tell others how to do it. 

James and Mark are joined by Dave Hopla, who has experience as an NBA Shooting Coach, one-to-one offensive skills coach, and conductor of training camps focusing on the purest way to put the ball in the hole. 

Coach talks us through how he got into coaching a particular set of skills, the players he's worked with, whether any shot is truly "broken", and just what might be Ben Simmons' problem. 

Coach then shares his infinite bucket-getting wisdom as he answers questions from our listeners.
