"Shooting is the most important offensive fundamental skill in basketball.  A team that shoots well will always be in ball games."  - Jerry Tarkanian, former UNLV head coach

Most coaches recognize it as the most important aspect of playing great basketball: Correct shooting mechanics.

Even at the college level, incredible amounts of time and energy are spent on trying to uncover mechanical defects in a player's shooting technique, followed by more time trying to explain the needed corrections to the athlete.

"The most frustrating part of what I used to do was getting my players to visually understand what they needed to do to correct their shot," said one assistant college coach.  "Man, the software has really changed the way we do things."

"The software" he is referring to is Dartfish, the revolutionary software tool for college coaches that allows an athlete to visually identify small differences in their mechanics more quickly, allowing their coaches to work with them to correct errors in those mechanics.  The results?  Fixing problems more quickly.

"We use to spend several days trying to identify and correct little mistakes and bad habits our players would fall into," said the assistant coach.  "Now it might take an hour or so."

Some of the things that college basketball coaches say that they've been able to more easily correct include changing shot velocities, incorrect angles of release and the trajectory of a ball once it leaves the fingertips.

"We designed the way the software works with coaches in mind," says Victor Bergonzoli, CEO of Dartfish USA.  "We've had great feedback from the college coaches that use it.  Over and over again, they say its given them a real advantage over their competition that still isn't familiar with what it does."

Originally used by the U.S. Olympic team, Dartfish is becoming a mainstay in gyms across the nation's college campuses.
