> experiments show that basked percentage is measurably higher if you shoot with the underhand "granny shot" There is also the Dutch sport "korfbal" (which literally translates to basketball, funny enough) where the baskets are higher, smaller and have no board, and you are not allowed to shoot if blocked anyway. Everyone shoots with two hands, and the equivalent of the lay-up is even sort-of done underhandedly. Speaking of social norms and not wanting to look "uncool", korfbal is often talked about as a very dorky sport, even though it is fairly popular in the Netherlands. Most commonly by men who insist real men play football (soccer for the Americans). Speaking as a man who really enjoyed korfbal growing up, I suspect this is mainly because it's a unisex team-sport.
