Re: the fade away jump shot
Another reason why coaches don't like the fade away is they fear that the kid will stop going up strong and draw the foul, but rather will habitually bail out with the fade away.
I love the turn around fade away, on the left baseline for a righty, you don't have to "show" the ball to get it into shooting position, you can release it way back behind your head, so with the jump and fade, you can get it over taller players. Or the back to basket fake to the middle, then spin the other way, with maybe a dribble, to create even more space for the fade away.
