I think just about every coach has used tape to create a mid line on the basketball court. One thing that I found myself saying all the time last year was to start at the NBA 3 point line for guards. It drives me nuts when we kick out to a shooter and he isn't ready to shoot, is in an uncomfortable shooting position, or is too close to the line. My solution at camp this summer was to tape a NBA 3pt line on the court.
Benefits
1. Helps spacing on the court
2. Works well with our step in shooting form
3. Easy cue for kids to pick up on
4. Even if someone can't shoot very well the idea of looking like you might shoot opens up a lot of driving and passing lanes.
I have seen coaches tape off other areas of the court. We are looking at putting floor tape down for our trapping areas and zone coverage areas when starting next season.
Yeah! It's easy and and very convenient to use. No more paints splattered on your walls and floors. Floor tape would perfectly do the job!
