  • The Fundamentals of Shooting the Basketball
    The Fundamentals of Shooting the Basketball The objective of the offense in Basketball is accuracy of each attempted shot. Most players recognize this; but, only the better shooters learn how to practice correctly and work at improvement year round. Since most of this practice sessions are alone, every player must be his own critic. This means he\she must understand the proper mechanics that affect the success, or failure, of every shot. Every player must know his range and know what is a good shot. Therefore, before examining the techniques associated with the various shots, a good basketball player is expected to have in his arsenal, here are the principles at work in every scoring shot from anywhere on a basketball court. These are divided into two parts, the mental aspect and the physical aspect: 1. Mental. At no time is psychological conditioning more critical than when shooting the basketball in a game. Knowing when to shoot and being able to do it effectively under pressure distinguishes the great shooter from the ordinary. Regardless of how much he practices, or how well he conditions himself, only a modest amount of improvement is possible in speed, reflexes, or strength. History gives many examples of players able to achieve greatness despite mediocre physical talent. Usually, however, such successes are due to determination. a. Concentration: is the fixing of attention on the job at hand and is characteristic of every great athlete. Through continuous practice, good shooters develop their concentration to the extent that they are oblivious to every distraction. Ability to relax: is closely related to concentration.

    Wartime Basketball: The Emergence of a National Sport During World War II Stark, Douglas ARETE By Susan J. Rayl Media Mention Rec’d September 6, 2016 Wartime Basketball: The Emergence of a National Sport During World War II. By Douglas Stark. Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 2016. 384 pages. Hardbound. $34.95 (ISBN-13: 978-0-8032-4528-0). Reviewed by Susan J. Rayl, State University of New York at Cortland Douglas Stark writes about the sport he loves, basketball, in his second book, Wartime Basketball: The Emergence of a National Sport During World War II. Focusing on professional basketball between 1941 and 1946, Stark provides ample historical background and context for the players, teams and leagues discussed within his narrative. Comprised of an introduction, five chapters, and an epilogue, he incorporates both primary and secondary sources to tell the story. Numerous interviews from books, newspaper articles, and the author himself enhances the text and creates a sense of “being there” for readers. In “Introduction: A New Game” Stark presents a thorough history of the birth of basketball, its creator, Dr. James Naismith, and the influence of Luther Gulick, followed by a short history of the professionalization of the game. Chapter 1 - “America Goes to War: 1941-1942” begins with Ralph Kaplowitz of New York University being drafted into the Army Air Corp in August 1941, thereby ending his college basketball career. Kaplowitz played basketball for Chanute Field Team in Illinois for a time before spending five years traveling the country for training then flying 13 missions as a fighter pilot in the Pacific Theatre.
