I continually stop practice and ask players who the best shooter is and I expect them to know. It is important that you get the ball to your best shooter.” KnowsTwoImportantAsksOpportunityPracticePlayerTeamEqualBasketballBallsPassingPassingsLimitationCoachingOffensiveOffenseBasketball CoachingIndianaEqual OpportunityShooter Author:Bobby Knight
