Grooving
What does the basketball term “grooving” mean?
What does “grooving” describe?
What players are more likely to get into a groove?
The groove of a player in basketball is the flow and tempo they have when they shoot. If a player gets into a groove, or is grooving, they are consistently shooting accurately and handling the ball well. Synonyms for grooving include “locked in”, “heating up”, or “on fire”.
Much like putting in golf or kicking a field goal in football, basketball players must have a high level of poise to make their shots. There is a lot of pressure on the shooter to perform correctly.
Players with better poise are more likely to get into a groove, and are also more likely to break out of a slump.
Slumping is the opposite of grooving. If a player is slumping they are shooting the ball poorly, and having trouble handling and moving the ball.
A coach needs to be aware of which of their players are grooving and which are slumping. A coach should always let a player who’s grooving ride the wave and stay in the game. If a player is slumping, the coach should bench them for a while in favor of someone who may heat up.
