not change your form because you don't have enough power to get it to the basket. Depending on what position you play really does determine where you should be shooting from, if you're a wing or point guard then you can be shooting beyond the free throw, or 15 footer.

Basketball has been around for about 125 years and people continue to shoot the basketball the wrong way. Of course from the beginning no shot form was established. Any way you could get the ball to the basket and into the basket was acceptable. In the 50’s and 60’s we began to see the formation of a general form used to shoot the basketball. There are three very important things when correctly shooting a basketball balance, hand placement, and eye contact. First is hand placement, hand…

Free throws wins games is most likely a phrase that most athletes hear from their basketball coaches. Even though they are only worth a point, they tend to occur at the most crucial parts of the game. For example, one second remains on the clock and your team is tied with the opposing one. The ball is in your hands, you control the outcome of the game. If you miss it, the other team has a chance to score and win. If you make it, your team wins. Thus, free throws win games. If only it was as…

There are so many kinds of throws in ball sports. For my science project I need to know about them so I have backup for my Hypothesis. I am testing whether a basketball goes farther using a chest pass, a push pass, an overhead pass or an underhead pass. The overhead pass has that extra flick of the wrist when your two arms are above your head. When you stop the motion to release the ball it gives a jolt to propel the ball forward.(Sarah Berton's brain). According to one source I read, this…

a basketball, but when some players step up to shoot a free throw they might not have the best form. The top teams in the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) have a percentage of about 75% from the line. Numerous missed shots are due mainly to poor form, which can be easily fixed. The best time to learn how to have this good form is during one’s early basketball years. This is so one can develop muscle memory. A free throw occurs in a basketball game when a player is fouled in…

The history of free-throw; James Naismith created by a game that was non-violent. He wrote 13 rules of his game and labeled it basketball while he prepared teaching a gym class at the YMCA in Springfield, Mass in 1891. However, understanding that free throw was not called in the original 13 rules, but it was almost the same as rule number 7, that stated “if either side makes consecutive fouls it shall count a goal for the opponents.” Today, we know it as free-throw was put into place for more…

gym. The boys approach the locker room while the girls proceed to the stands. The cheerleaders remove their pom poms before they stow their duffels in the corner of the gymnasium. The basketball players take the court and commence shooting free throws. “5, 6, 7, 8,” the players look over to see the girls practicing their halftime routine. All at once, the buzzer on the clock sounds and the game will officially begin in two…
