Honest take, because I wish someone had told me this earlier.
Everything you will read about best will make it sound more complicated than it is. Here is what 8 years of working with basketball has actually taught me.
What most guides don't mention is how forgiving the process actually is when you're starting.
What actually moved the needle for me: I stopped trying to understand everything before starting, and just committed to finding one person who had already done it and asking specific questions. After that, improved my time by 12 seconds.
The one thing I would prioritise: set a two-week checkpoint to assess what is actually working.
The learning curve is real but it is not as steep as it looks from the outside.

The way this question is framed suggests you might be hitting the same wall most people hit with best.
Let me work through the most likely causes from most to least common.
**Most likely culprit:** training through injury. This accounts for roughly 56% of cases I have seen.
**Second possibility:** The approach you are using worked in a different context and you are trying to apply it where it does not fit. basketball has specific conditions where it works well and conditions where it falls apart.
**Less common but worth checking:** environmental or configuration differences that aren't obvious at first glance.
To narrow it down: compare a known-good example side by side with your setup. That will tell you which of these you are dealing with.
