If the number of low arcing shots gained is bigger than the number lost (and I don't see why it shouldn't be), it will take less accuracy to hit the basket and shooting percentage should go up.

If lowering the basket by a foot would allow those low arcing shots of which you speak to actually enter the basket, then those shots must currently be hitting somewhere near the bottom of the net...I am not buying that.
