Abstract:
A two-phase study was conducted on shooting three-point shots in basketball in pressure/no-pressure game situations. In Phase 1–a subjective approach, our aim was to discover what the players and coaches thought about shooting beyond the three-point arc when the shooters were performing under defensive pressure or when they were free of such pressure. In Phase 2–an analysis of shooting success, we examined the actual success (i.e., percentage of successful shots) of shooting three-point shots under these two situations.
