Think of the hard-hit line drive in baseball, for example.  Or a shot that has a high arc (a player close to the basket trying to get it over a taller defender) might have an even-looking arc. 
 
My point was to not assume all shots are at on their way down at the halfway point, so we still need to actually watch the ball.

 I know.  I was just being sassy.  Perky.  Feeling a little frisky since having a nice weekend.  Actually have a little sense of humor.  Don't burst my bubble.  Jack...
