"The preparatory position of the body is very important to the jump shot and even at this point there is debate over foot position. Players are often told to square up toward the basket, even though it is commonly thought that a slightly staggered stance, rather than a completely square stance, facilitates a better jump shot. If the dominate foot is placed a little in front of the other foot, it is thought that the body will be more stable and better aligned. Ideally the ball, wrist, elbow, and shoulder should be on a plane aligned with the basket, and it is argued that this is best done in a staggered or homolateral stance rather than a completely squared stance."
