BTW, when I was first taught/coached in playing basketball, late ‘50s, we were instructed to shoot for the box on a free throw.
Box? I thought it was a peach basket that you old guys were using way back then. Or so I heard.
Yes. Bounce/bank the ball off the box on the backboard, into the peach basket. And the officials then signified that the score keeper should add one point to the shooter's team score.
