  About Rick Penny
   
 

Rick Penny is known as one of the purest shooters, with the quickest release, to ever play the game. His shooting technique is timeless; it worked when Rick was younger (see Playing Days below) and it works today. At age 50, Rick made:

  • 490 free throws in a row

  • 97/100 3pt. shots (top of the circle)
    56 in a row

  • 1774/2000 (88%) 3pt. shots (top of the
    circle)

  • 77/100 NBA 3pt. shots

Rick knows shooting! He has a unique ability to work with players of all ages, improve their shooting mechanics and get results.

Coach Rick Penny is now retired from active coaching to pursue his passion - teaching shooting!

As Rick puts it:

After retiring from coaching, I went to the gym and shot quite a bit just to pass the time and because it was fun. At some point I realized that basketball was still important, and it struck me that I could teach shooting and be in touch with the sport and kids. I decided to teach others to shoot the way I did. So I analyzed my shooting mechanics and the One Motion Technique was born!
