Anyone know the best way to get out of a playing funk?

think about your feet. set your feet- focus on balance below the waist. This assumes you are well drilled and have good technique to start with.
Continue to take the shots that are within your range and don't second guess if the shot is open..you take it.

Keep shooting until it fixes itself...at least that is what I am doing.

try shooting left handed (assuming your a natural right hander), really think about your technique. shoot for about 10-15 minutes with your left, then switch back to your right. Works a treat.

Tighten your ab muscles when you jump to shoot. Gives better balance which is the major cause of missing. Try it, it's simple and it works!

For touch..
I always say shoot 100 set shots on each side of the ring from about 4-5ft out.
Go old school and use the backboard... this will give you back your touch as an even rythmn is required to score a basket.

For game preparedness:
Always have someone to pass you the ball like you would receive it during a game ... chest pass/bounce pass and try and duplicate the speed of your 'game' time release.
Balance and foot work are usually the sticking points .. shoot till exhaustion while maintaining good form.

Hope that helps .. unless ofcourse you are playing my team on the weekend !! ;)

No way to tell you what you are doing wrong on a chat room son, can't see it. Ask your coach, and video tape it so you can see it, then work it out.
