Coming To Bismarck – “Shoot 360″ – Pure Love Of Basketball
I'm in -big time!
It's time for all of us to get excited about the game of basketball - that's pretty easy for me since I have been a fan my whole life. Unfortunately, I wasn't blessed with the tools ( NONE actually ) to step out on a court and dazzle the crowd - so the high school coach talked me into taking the job as THE team statistician. Maybe, if back then Shoot 360 was around, my dreams of hitting the last-second winning bucket would have been a reality.
Josh Johnson and his wife Katie LOVE basketball...
...so much so that they are co-owners of Shoot 360 - two locations - one in Fargo and the second in Grand Forks. Their goal is to open one here in Bismarck and in Sioux Falls. So what is this magical place all about? Technology - in a brilliant way. I'll let shoot360.com tell you more:

Two elements - Technology Training and Non-Members - both are excellent. My favorite question - "Josh what's your favorite part of your job?" I could tell over the phone just how much he and his wife care - "I love the positive relationship with the kids"
How perfect does that sound? One day real soon Bismarck will have the most advanced technology available in the game of basketball, AND maybe one day soon I'll make a 3-pointer ( if nobody is guarding me of course )
