Geno Auriemma On Shot Selection

Two biggest issues that Geno sees right now is 1) teams are playing too fast and 2) bad shot selection.

Shot selection might be the most important thing that you can teach your team.  Everybody thinks that they can make any shot.

Shot selection is the biggest killer of offense because the wrong guy is taking the wrong shot, you can't rebound when you don't know when a shot is going up, and you are out of balance and can't get back on defense.

Rule #1
When you are open, you have to shoot it if that's the shot you work on everyday.  Everybody knows and expects it and is prepared to rebound.

Rule #2
If you shoot when you aren't open and somebody is, that's the last shot you get that game.  Thats where selfishness begins.
