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.
