Does the ball ever not go in?

An underrated one is: shoot the ball TOWARD the basket. I can't stress that enough.

I never aim towards the basket. That way, the number four or three can pick it up mid-air and alley-oop that mother. BOO YAH!

When making a layup, I always aim for the square on the backboard. Ball will go in 100% of the time.
Anyone got any other tactics or tips for higher scoring/technique adjustments when playing ball?

Keep shooting arm elbow in. Use your legs to push the ball. The hands guide the ball, they don't push the ball as much. I can follow these guidelines 100% of the time for a 10% free throw shooting percentage. Game time with defensive pressure, shooting percentage goes down to about 1%.
