Orlando Magic coach brings shooting school to Chilliwack

Local hoops players will get tips on technique from a pro working in the National Basketball Association.

A coach with the National Basketball Association’s Orlando Magic is coming to Chilliwack in late April to host a three hour shooting clinic.

Dave Love will teach technique and mechanics to players ages 11 and up.

The clinic will be held April 23 at Sardis secondary school at a cost of $64.95 plus tax.

Love is best known for his work with Canadian power forward Tristan Thompson.

As a coach with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2013-14, Love helped Thompson become the first NBA player to change his dominant shooting hand.

Sports Illustrated wrote an article about it that can be found online at si.com/nba/point-forward/2013/08/10/tristan-thompson-right-handed-left-handed-switch-canada-cleveland-cavaliers.
