re: Shoot your free throws underhand; Trade all your 1st round picks; Never punt (Podcast)

quote:Consider this: in a regular game environment (during a play), there is a need to shoot overhand in order to get the ball over the outstretched hand of the opponent - quickly. In that scenario, overhand is logically the best way. However, for free throws, the game environment slows to a grinding halt, presenting the opportunity to use the more productive (debatable) underhand method. I agree with the previous posts that make the point where underhand shooters represent a microscopic sampling and therefore should not be used to compare the success rate between the 2 methods.
Well, the argument falls apart long before you even get to the statistics with the talk about the "natural position"
