Shot Selection Frameworks

Definition

A shot selection framework gives a player a fast, repeatable filter for deciding which shots to take and which to pass up.

Why it matters

Players don't get cut for missing shots — they get cut for taking the wrong ones. Frameworks make selection automatic.

Examples

• OBROE: Open, Balanced, in Range, Open early in the clock.
• 1-pass-away rule: pass up a good shot only if a great shot is one pass away.

Practical application

• Score shot quality in practice film, not just makes/misses.
• Tag every shot OBROE-pass/fail and audit weekly.

Common mistakes

• Passing up open shots because of recent misses.
