Preparation Stance of Foul Shot

The feet are staggard when preparing to shoot a foul shot.  Shooting side foot is usually first.  The basketball is held at shoulder height and the arm is bent nintey degrees.  The knees are bent and ready to extend when the ball is shot.  The torso is straight and the eyes are looking at the target.  The palms are not touching the basketball, only the finger tips.  This will increase accuracy.
