Download or read book The Relationship Between Shooting Arch and Shooting Percentage in Basketball written by Douglas J. Hicks and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the arch of a basketball shot on shooting percentage, and to compare the different types of arch with shooting accuracy from three different ranges of shots. The study was conducted during the 1990-91 basketball season with a group of nineteen intercollegiate basketball players at the community college level selected from Spokane Community College and North Idaho College. The data were collected from a total of 570 shots. All hypotheses were tested for statistical significance at the .05 level. An independent two tailed t test was used to analyze the data. Statistical findings revealed a significant difference between the mean angles of projection of basketball shots made and missed. The made shots had a mean angle of projection of 65.07 degrees and the mean angle of projection of missed shots was 62.61 degrees at three ranges of shots from three feet to nineteen feet six inches. There was also a significant difference between the different mean angles of projection for the different ranges of shots. Short range shots had a much higher angle of projection than mid range or long range shots. This research concludes that teaching a high angle of projection may be beneficial to the success of a player's shooting percentage. The writer also concludes that players should have a knowledge of the different recommended angles of projection for shots at different ranges"--Document.

Rowe and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The significance of this study was to determine if using a big ball basketball during practice will increase free throw shooting percentage in high school male athletes. The big ball was designed to improve shooting accuracy of basketball players by: 1) increasing the tracking of the ball, 2) increasing the arch on the free throw shot, 3) forcing subjects to spread hand on the back of the ball. The subjects were eighteen boy's varsity and junior varsity basketball players from Sultan High School. The study took place during the 1999-2000 high school boy's basketball season. Subjects practiced for two and a half hours, six days a week throughout the season. The season lasted from November until February. The study involved a pre-test at the beginning of the season and a post test at the end of the season. The results of the test were factored using a two way ANOVA to determine significance. There was also a paired t-test between control and experimental groups. This study found that both control and experimental groups had improved their shooting percentages from pre-test to post-test. There was no difference between experimental and control group to support the effect of increased shooting percentage due to the big ball basketball"--Document.

Book excerpt: “Jimmy Lee was the best shooter from 15-feet I have ever seen. If he got his shot, he made it. Early, middle, or late in games – it did not matter when. Jimmy had great fundamentals, he worked hard and he shot the ball with great confidence. He was so consistent; if he missed a shot you thought it was an accident. His thoughts and techniques can help anyone improve their free throw shooting” Jim Boeheim – Head Coach at Syracuse University, Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, Class of 2005; 2008 Olympic Gold Medal, Team USA, 2010 World Championship Gold Medal, Team USA; 2010 Division I Coach of the Year “Jim Lee and I were contemporaries at Syracuse. He played in the games – I talked about them. I remember him as a clutch shooter (in the 1975 NCAA Tournament, his 18-footer with 3 seconds left upset North Carolina, and paved the way for Syracuse’s first trip to the Final Four). Since Jimmy was pretty close to automatic from the foul line, just about every player, at every level, can benefit from his advice and proven approach.” Bob Costas – NBC Sports “This is a rare book, because Jim is able to weave together invaluable skills instruction with a very personal and informative story about his relationships with teammates, coaches, and most importantly his family. Jim’s father, as both a veteran and a person with disabilities, clearly served as an exemplar for Jim with regard to how he approached basketball – and how he approached life. This is clearly illustrated by the fact that Jim has committed to leverage the proceeds from sales of this book to improve the lives of this generation of veterans with disabilities. On so many levels, Jim’s book is powerfully positioned to impart lessons about basketball and life that are meaningful and timeless.” Mike Haynie, PhD – Executive Director, Institute for Veterans and Military Families, Syracuse University; Barnes Professor of Entrepreneurship, Whitman School of Management, Syracuse University “Fifteen Feet For Free is an easy read for all ages. It can be very helpful for kids just beginning their basketball days, and I can see a great benefit for more experienced players. The fundamental instructions in this book can easily improve a player’s free throw percentage.” Morgan Wootten – 1,274 wins as Head Basketball Coach at DeMatha HS; Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, Class of 2000; National Coach of the 20th Century; Four-time recipient of National Coach of the Year; 10-time recipient of Coach of the Year in the Washington D.C. Area “The fundamentals of great free throw shooting are in complete alignment with the values of practice, repetition, goal sitting, and mental calm that successful business people employ. Jim gets this and writes about it in an amazingly real and compelling way.” Mike Perlis – President and CEO, Forbes Media
