When the 3-point shot was introduced to the game of basketball it
was a bit controversial. Today, the 3-point shot has not only
become an accepted part of the game, it has changed the game. The
3-point shot has forced defenses to extend in order to cover the
shot, creating better offensive spacing. The penetration game has
improved as a result, creating even more offensive opportunities.
Players love the more open game and so do the fans. Yet not every
coach or every team has embraced the 3-point shot. Some coaches
still struggle with how to integrate the shot into the team
offense. It is no longer enough to simply space the offense behind
the 3-point line as the defense has become more sophisticated in
defending the shot and great 3-point shooters. Fine Tuning Your
Three-Point Attack offers 150 concepts to improve your team's
3-point offense, drills to teach offensive building blocks
essential to a balanced and effective 3-point offensive attack.
Nearly 200 diagrams and photographs are used to illustrate the
concepts included in the book. Also included are inbounds plays for
the baseline and sideline, quick-hitters and secondary breaks for
the fast break attack. Attack a zone defense is covered as well as
concepts for basic offensive building blocks that can be
incorporated into any offense to generate 3-point shots. In
addition to the offensive concepts included, Coach Sivils takes a
look at the reasoning behind utilizing the 3-point shot, possible
issues with the 3-point shot as well as the opportunities the
tactics can create for a team. What are coaches saying about Fine
Tuning Your Three-Point Attack: "Kevin Sivils's books should be
required reading for coaches I'm always impressed by the shear
number of solid, time-tested and thought-provoking ideas he
presents, giving the reader a "one-stop shopping" resource. In Fine
Tuning Your Three-point Attack he has great suggestions not only
for coaching the shooter, but the concepts and drills you need to
be aware of generate open looks from the arc. His section on
quick-hitters, sideline and underneath OB plays alone are worth the

integral part of your offense " Coach Doug Porter - Head Women's
