This will ensure the defender cannot jump across the offensive player if performed correctly. The interior arm should be continued to remain at the high a little above the head (with the hand in line with the elbow of the outside arm once fully extended). This arm cannot be extended outside of a players cylinder or used as an offensive push, it can be used to interfere with the defenders attempt to block or disrupt the Hook Shot. Hand to Elbow Once the inside hand releases from the arm closest to the basket, it then fills the role of shielding the ball from the defender. This helps in making the Hook Shot that much harder to block ![]() Jump as the ball reaches the ear position, the offensive player must now jump harnessing that coiled strength and power through their legs to help elevate themselves up and over a defender. The ball is then raised further with the two hands to the height of the ear, before being released by the interior hand and the outside arm now fully extending with the hand flicking the ball up and over, down into the basket. Using two hands the ball will start on the hip, maintaining two handed contact the ball is raided to the shoulder. Hip, Shoulder, Ear and Extended the line that the ball should travel will be that of straight up the furthest side of the body. Additionally, the shoulder closest to the basket because of the arm stretched across the body to the opposite hip will dip slightly making for a more effective bumping position as it is braced against the torso. This position also ensures the ball is also at the furthest point away from the defender. Player should start in a squatting position, knees bent to ninety degrees, back straight and shoulders back this will help with balance and jumpingĪ player should turn their head over the interior shoulder to see the basket at all times once side on to the basket the post player must turn their head to see both the defender and basketīall should be held with both hands on the hip furthest away from the basket this helps create three points of contact (two hands and hip) which will improve control. Player’s feet should be slight wider then shoulder width apart this will help with balance once linked to initial back to the basket moves, help create stability so the player cannot be pushed out of position and help with elevation in the jump Less movement from the side on position will help simplify the technique Initially start a player side on, rather than back to the basket if you draw a line through both shoulders this should point directly to the middle of the hoop. The outside arm is fully extended with the hand flicking the ball up, over and down into the basket (Photo Source: U.S. The interior arm has separated from the ball, but continues to be carried at head height shield the ball.
