"Tom Nordland has created a masterpiece
of a shooting video for basketball people everywhere! 'Swish
2' has to be ranked at the very top of the list of shooting videos
ever produced. It teaches players at all levels what and how
to practice, how we learn, and how the skill can be coached.
It explains the mystery of why so few players are great shooters
any more."
- - Don Meyer, Head
Coach
Northern State University Men's Team, Aberdeen, So. Dakota
One of the winningest coaches in the game!
"Your tape is something every NBA
player should have. I would be glad to endorse your film for
you as I know it would help NBA or college players to realize
the necessary mechanics for successful shooting. Obviously the
NBA is aware of the failing skill as shooting percentages continue
to drop. What you offer is something sorely needed."
-- Pete Newell, Sr.,
legendary coach, his teams have won NCAA and NIT Championships,
Coach of the gold-medal-winning USA Olympic Team in 1960 with
Oscar Robertson and Jerry West. He has spread basketball wisdom
across the globe with clinics in Europe, Central & South
America and Japan and he runs an annual Big Man Camp in Hawaii.
"Just a note to say hello and to
thank you for sending me your
excellent video & workbook on shooting. After reviewing both,
I definitely feel they would help anyone who is interested in
improving their shooting touch and fundamentals. I feel [Swish]
is one of the best shooting videos I have ever seen. CONGRATULATIONS
on your personal success, and putting together such an outstanding
(useful) video."
-- Bill Sharman, Boston
Celtic Legend and Special Consultant to the LA Lakers
(Bill is considered to be one of the greatest shooters of all
time!)
"I've played the game for 40 years
and Tom's shooting techniques are amazing to me! My shot improved
drastically from just one 20-minute session with him."
-- Tony Fuller, former
Assistant Coach, Stanford Men's basketball
"Swish is a must see for
anyone who wants to improve their shooting!"
-- Morgan Wooten, Head
Coach, DeMtha High School, Washington D.C. Compiled
a 1,274-192 (.868) record, first all-time among high school basketball
coaches and the highest winning percentage in the country. Hall
of Fame Oct. 2000.
"The proof is in the pudding
- look at the stats! I've made a major improvement and expect
to improve more by continued working with Tom. His technique
is different from most shooting coaches. He does a combination
of form (technique) and the
art/science of repeatability. It really works!"
-- Dale Davis, NBA power
forward, Detroit Pistons, formerly with Indiana Pacers, Golden
State Warriors and the Portland Trailblazers)
"Every NBA team should hire you
as their shooting coach!"
-- Jim Barnett, longtime
NBA player, former Golden State Warrior, one of the better shooters
in the NBA, and now TV Analyst for the Warriors
"I think it [the Swish
video] is excellent. I would recommend it highly for players
and coaches on any levels."
-- Lute Olson, University
of Arizona (1997 National Champions)
"After 30 years of coaching at
the Division I level, I've discovered the finest shooting coach
in my basketball career. Tom Nordland's video, 'Swish -- A Guide
to Great Basketball Shooting,' simply demonstrates the keys to
success for shooting a basketball. If you're a beginner, Tom
will build the foundation and focus for career-long shooting
success for you and your team-mates. Don't miss a clinic if Tom
is speaking and demonstrating. He'll excite you with his outstanding
teaching methods."
-- Stan Morrison,
long-time head coach at USC, Univ. of the Pacific, and San Jose
State, and member of the 1959 NCAA National Champ, Univ. of California
at Berkeley, now Athletic Director at Univ. of Calif. Riverside
"Coach Nordland was the final secret
to perfecting my jump shot. The main thing that helped me was
what he calls "Catching the UpForce." Once I found
the groove to catching that energy from the legs, my percentages
went up greatly. I can't think Coach Nordland enough for what
he did for my game. I will be sure to take these tips to the
University of Iowa in the 2004-2005 season."
-- J.R. Angle, one
of Indiana's best high school players and a top candidate for
"Mr. Basketball" in 2004, now at the University of
Iowa.
