Phase 4- Follow Through

The follow-through consists of the ball being released and the players dominant arm is extended and is in the direction of the basketball hoop.  Keeping the shooting arm up is a key component because it determines the direction of the ball. 

Scientific Terminology:
The ball should be released superior to the head and slightly anterior to the medial, or midline, of the body.  The shooting extremity should be in full flexion and the radiocarpal joint, or wrist, should be in full flexion.
